On April 2, the birthday of H.H. Andersen, every two years children's writers and artists are awarded the main award - the International Prize named after the great storyteller with the presentation of the Gold Medal. This is the most prestigious international award, often called the “Little Nobel Prize”. A gold medal with the profile of the great storyteller is awarded to the laureates at the next congress of the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), which was founded in 1953. Prize G.H. Andersen Prize is patronized by UNESCO, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and is awarded only to living writers and artists. The International Children's Book Council is the most authoritative organization in the world, uniting writers, artists, literary scholars, and librarians from more than sixty countries. IBBY is committed to promoting good children's books as a means of promoting international understanding.
The idea to establish the prize belongs to Ella Lepman (1891-1970), an outstanding cultural figure in the field of children's literature. She was born in Germany, in Stuttgart. During the Second World War she emigrated to the United States, but Switzerland became her second home. From here, from Zurich, came her ideas and deeds, the essence of which was to build a bridge of mutual understanding and international cooperation through a book for children. E. Lepman’s famous phrase is: “Give our children books, and you will give them wings.” It was Ella Lepman who initiated the establishment in 1956 of the International Prize named after. G.H. Andersen. Since 1966, the same prize has been awarded to an illustrator of a children's book. Ella Lepman ensured that, starting in 1967, by decision of UNESCO, Hans Christian Andersen's birthday, April 2, became International Children's Book Day. On her initiative and with direct participation, the world's largest International Youth Library in Munich was founded, which is today the world's leading research center in the field of children's reading.
Candidates for the G.Kh. Andersen are nominated by national sections of the International Children's Book Council IBBY. The laureates - writer and artist - are awarded Gold medals with the profile of G.H. Andersen during the IBBY congress. In addition, IBBY awards diplomas of honor to the best children's and youth books recently published in countries that are members of the International Council.
The Russian Children's Book Council has been a member of the International Children's Book Council since 1968. But so far there are no laureates of this organization Russian writers. But among illustrators there is such a laureate. In 1976, the Andersen Medal was awarded to Tatyana Alekseevna Mavrina, an illustrator of children's books (1902-1996).
In 1974, the International Jury especially noted the work of the Russian children's writer Sergei Mikhalkov, and in 1976 - Agnia Barto. Honorary diplomas were awarded in different years to the writers Anatoly Aleksin for the story “Characters and Performers”, Valery Medvedev for the story “Barankin’s Fantasies”, Yuri Koval for the book of stories and short stories “The Lightest Boat in the World”, Eno Raud for the first part of the tetralogy of stories -fairy tales “Muff, Low Boot and Moss Beard” and others.
Over the past years, 32 writers from 21 countries have become Andersen Prize laureates. Among those awarded this high award there are names well known to Russian readers.
The first laureate in 1956 was the English storyteller Elinor Farjeon, known to us for her translations of fairy tales “I Want the Moon”, “The Seventh Princess” and many others. In 1958 the prize was awarded Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren. Many generations of Russian readers know and love her literary heroes. To one degree or another, the Russian-speaking reader is familiar with the work of the prize winners - German writers Erich Kästner and James Krüss, Italian Gianni Rodari, Tove Jansson from Finland, Bohumil Rzhiga from Czechoslovakia, Austrian writer Christine Nöstlinger...
Unfortunately, the work of twelve Andersen laureates is completely unknown to us - their books have not been translated into Russian. So far, the Spaniard Jose Maria Sanchez-Silva, the Americans Paula Fox and Virginia Hamilton, the Japanese Michio Mado and Nahoko Uehashi, the Brazilian writers Lizhia Bojunga and Maria Machado, the Australian children's writer Patricia Wrightson, the Swiss Jurg Schubiger, the Argentine Maria Teresa Andruetto and UK authors Aidan Chambers and Martin Waddell. The works of these writers are awaiting Russian publishers and translators.
