Tellegen translation wins Marsh Award
the Marsh Award for Children’s Literature in Translation 2011 for Children’s Literature in translation has been awarded to Martin Cleaver for his translation of Letters to Anyone and Everyone by Toon Tellegen (Boxer Books Ltd, 2009).
Martin Cleaver said “I am honoured to receive the Marsh Award and delighted at this recognition. It has always been my dream that English-speaking children and adults should be able to enjoy literature and films from other cultures and language areas. Subtitling and literature in translation has a major role to play in this.”
The award was founded to highlight the exciting books made accessible to young people in the UK through their encounters with works in translation.
