Marsh Award for children's books in translation
|
London, UK (Guardian): JK Rowling and Philip Pullman may have conquered the world in a hundred different languages, but British readers don't share a reciprocal enthusiasm for the literature of other countries. Kai Meyer is apparently one of Germany's bestselling authors, but his books are barely known here. Egmont are aiming to change that by publishing his Flowing Queen trilogy - and their faith was rewarded when this first volume received the biennial Marsh Award for children's books in translation last week.
By Kai Meyer, translated by Anthea Bell
