Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
Eric Gjovaag's Wonderful Blog of Oz offers wonderful news of Gili Bar-Hilel's nomination for a Geffen Award for best translation of a fantasy book into Hebrew, for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. (This posting is really an excuse to thank Gili for her link back to הבלוג של ג'ון בל.)
Gili is also the Hebrew translator of The Annotated Wizard of Oz, by Michael Patrick Hearn.
