The French edition of the Highland Falcon Thief, translated by Lilas Nord and published by Nathan, has won the Prix enfantaisie 2022!
I am so delighted, in particular, because the prize is voted for by the readers, of which there were over four-thousand-eight-hundred children in Switzerland, which means a hell of a lot to a children’s author.
Another reason that this is such an exciting award to win, is that a story often sinks or swims around the world on the strength of its translation, and so this award really is for Lilas Nord’s translation. It’s wonderful to know that they did such a good job, especially because they have more books to work on coming soon!
So a huge thank you goes to our French translator, Lilas Nord, and our French publisher, Nathan, and especially to all the readers who voted. I hope you continue to read Mysteres Sur Les Rails!
