2012 Carnegie and Greenaway Medals

[edit]

Today Patrick Ness and Jim Kay won the British CILIP year's best awards as author and illustrator of A Monster Calls (Walker/ Candlewick). Carnegie Medal in Literature dates from 1936; Kate Greenaway Medal dates from 1955; this is the first double win for one book, by one person or two.

Meanwhile Ness has won the 2011 and 2012 Carnegies, the second such double, with two books published by Walker. ... and Mal Peet won with Walker in 2005.

A Monster Calls is "from an original idea by Siobhan Dowd". According to The Guardian interview with Ness & Kay, she had discussed the story, and contracted to write it, with editor Denise Johnstone-Burt, who was and is also editor for Ness. The interview covers the process slightly.

Evidently, the Daily Telegraph also interviewed Ness & Kay. I have provided references for six news stories at Talk: A Monster Calls#2012 Carnegie and Greenaway Medals --although I have yet read only two of them, only one Ness-Kay interview. --P64 (talk) 20:11, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
