September 2011

The Swedish edition of the revised, updated, redesigned and combined one-volume Bocker inom och omkring oss (Tell Me with The Reading Environment), translated by Katarina Kuick, has been brought out by X Publishing.

 

An Italian translation of a selection of my essays on reading, literature and education, Siamo quello che leggiamo: crescera tra lettura e letteratura, has been published by Equilibri.

 

Noguer have issued a new edition of Reto en el colegio, the Spanish translation of my children's novel The Present Takers.

 

Dit is mijn dag, the Dutch translation of my collection of short stories The Kissing Game, has been published by Queridos, who are reissuing my novel Dit Is Alles (This Is All) to accompany the stage adaptation of parts of the book, which will open at HetPaleis theatre in Antwerp on 21 October and will then tour a number of towns in Flanders, with Marieke Dilles playing Cordelia and Sam Wauters playing Will.

 

Oxford Brookes University have awarded me an Honorary Doctorate of Literature.

 

A French edition of The Toll Bridge, La Maison Du Pont, was published by Editions Thierry Magnier in 2010. Those with a sharp eye will notice that my first name has been spelt on the cover after the Welsh fashion (Aiden) instead of my preferred Celtic fashion (Aidan).
