My American publisher in the United States made a beautiful new cover design, which we will use for the upcoming Dutch print run as well. <p></p><p>I'm incredibly proud to have this book in English after 23 (!) years. <i>De dagen van de bluegrassliefde</i> was first published in 1999, and became a bit of a classic. The book is still in print. It's about the love story between Tycho from Holland and Oliver from Norway. In 2006 <i>Ons derde lichaam</i> ('Our third body') was published, which talks about Tycho in the year after his bluegrass love year, and in 2015 there was <i>Oliver</i>, the novel about Oliver in Norway two years prior to <i>Bluegrass</i>. Both these books will come out in a new cover design in The Netherlands this summer.</p><p>So - we still have to wait til the month of May. But last week the famous review site <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> already published its judgement. Read <a href="https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/edward-van-de-vendel/the-days-of-bluegrass-love/" target="_blank">here</a> what it said, but... we got a starred review! And this: 'Van de Vendel's writing is poetic, intensely emotional, and sensitively philosophical in this beautiful translation by Rault.' Wow! <br /></p><br />Edwardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04378368066637012211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451986044852350164.post-20313249695744158622022-01-24T03:49:00.003-08:002022-01-24T03:49:23.508-08:00Yet another country...<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEieI2FIh-iH6ivYZFSGE-puT9fPfukjb0spmK9jb0zBCYq7YgcCibzb8eenQCQ4rGv917mcRJfitO-JwjrqT8xQENyjbhd4HK1V6VmcPz6DwQ_2cGL6wjVuDLHrwS11LjynTHcMZg7PpOzb8OWd-qUrQ_W3BwLWqr9sQHbRbkxZMzOsGhnAc9IyaV99=s800" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="606" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEieI2FIh-iH6ivYZFSGE-puT9fPfukjb0spmK9jb0zBCYq7YgcCibzb8eenQCQ4rGv917mcRJfitO-JwjrqT8xQENyjbhd4HK1V6VmcPz6DwQ_2cGL6wjVuDLHrwS11LjynTHcMZg7PpOzb8OWd-qUrQ_W3BwLWqr9sQHbRbkxZMzOsGhnAc9IyaV99=s320" width="242" /></a></div>Another Monday, another country for our <a href="http://edwardvandevendelenglish.blogspot.com/2018/11/little-fox.html" target="_blank">Little Fox</a> book (in Dutch: <i>Vosje</i>).

It's my first collaboration with the wonderful Saskia Halfmouw, and I'm pretty proud of it. Thank you to her, and thanks also to Dries Desseyn, the designer. <br /><p></p><p><i>Daddy is a polar bear</i> started out as a short story, but Saskia Halfmouw
made it into a richly illustrated little graphic novel, which also makes
it an easy read. The story is about an older sister and her little
brother, who one day starts repeating this sentence: 'Daddy is a polar
bear'. The girl wonders: why does he do that, what does it mean? But then she watches a
documentary about polar bears... </p><p><i>Daddy is a polar bear</i> is a tender, light and warm story about
being the children in a divorce situation. For children from 8 year old and up. 64 pages, full colour. <i><i><br /></i></i></p>Edwardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04378368066637012211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451986044852350164.post-31635813805477926342020-10-08T02:07:00.003-07:002020-10-08T04:02:11.729-07:00This hippo got awarded<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxY6ZnltWBDsLBdNiazl9Aou5UPmh9zIAJjUPqjiiIUXrlZVrntxx_OpCKKvuFheRzEFOs2i_dqNWOCXJRxBGfGrfSHIjwa3OfM_iLJJpU9zMq06B52JdvETq_Q_5iizSw2ujRy5QkORI/s1200/9200000102208389.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="881" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxY6ZnltWBDsLBdNiazl9Aou5UPmh9zIAJjUPqjiiIUXrlZVrntxx_OpCKKvuFheRzEFOs2i_dqNWOCXJRxBGfGrfSHIjwa3OfM_iLJJpU9zMq06B52JdvETq_Q_5iizSw2ujRy5QkORI/s320/9200000102208389.jpg" /></a></div>My last book of poems, <a href="http://edwardvandevendelenglish.blogspot.com/2019/02/what-to-do-when-you-trip-over-hippo.html" target="_blank"><i>What to do when you trip over a hippo</i></a>, a book that I made with the splendid illustrator Martijn van der Linden, got lucky this fall.<p></p><p>First of all it got two awards at the annual Dutch book prizes carroussel.

I'm really proud that this book found its way to Latvia, a country that I have visited quite a few times, and that I am really fond of. I hope the book will now find its way to young Latvian readers.

Our book Little Fox (in Dutch: <i>Vosje</i>) continues to surprise us. With 'us' I mean illustrator <a href="http://www.marijetolman.nl/" target="_blank">Marije Tolman</a> and myself. Apart from the recent fifth print run for the Dutch edition there was a second print run, within a few months, in France, and today we got the news that the book will travel to its seventh country. <br />
<br />
After Russia, France, Germany,
Italy, the US and Iran the book will be made translated into Macedonian. At the new publishing house of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/chudnashuma" target="_blank">Chudna Suma</a>! <br />
The book was orginially published by Querido, Amsterdam. Further rights can be negociated <a href="https://www.singeluitgeverijen.nl/foreign-rights/" target="_blank">here</a>.

I wrote two books about a big, dreamy, almost magical white dog, called Sam. The first book was <a href="http://edwardvandevendelenglish.blogspot.com/2014/04/then-there-was-sam.html" target="_blank"><i>A dog like Sam</i></a> (2011) and the second one <a href="http://edwardvandevendelenglish.blogspot.com/2014/04/sams-mysteries.html" target="_blank"><i>Sam in winter</i></a> (2012). The illustrations were by the awesome Philip Hopman and the original publishing company was Querido.<br />

The books were sold to the US, to France, Germany, Estonia and South-Africa, but now there's a whole new language for the Sam-adventures: the publishing house of <a href="https://www.petrkov.cz/" target="_blank">Petrkov</a> bought the rights for the Chech versions of the books. I am very happy that both books will be published in Chech Republic next year!<br />

I'm really, really proud to announce that already in the company's first programs two of my books will be presented.<br />
<br />
First of all the book I made with Marije Tolman will be translated. It's called <a href="http://edwardvandevendelenglish.blogspot.com/2018/11/little-fox.html" target="_blank"><i>Vosje</i></a> which in the US-version will be <i>Red Fox</i>. David Colmer will be translating. This English edition succeeds the French, German, Russian and Italian editions. <br />
<br />

In the spring of 2012 there will be an English version of my Young Adult novel about the first passionate love between Tycho and Oliver, two eighteen year old European boys, who meet in Knoxville, Tennessee.<br />
<br />
The book, which will be called <a href="https://edwardvandevendelenglish.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-days-of-bluegrass-love.html" target="_blank"><i>Days of Bluegrass Love</i></a>, (in Dutch: <i>De dagen van de bluegrassliefde</i>) was first published in 1999, with an updated version in 2015. Besides the United States the book will also be published in Latvia soon, by the way. I'm so thrilled by all this!

It was translated for <a href="https://theemmapress.com/books/super-guppy/" target="_blank">The Emma Press</a> as <i>Super Guppy</i> - by the great David Colmer, who translated two other poetry volumes of mine into English as well.<br />
<br />
Of course the illustrations are still by Fleur van der Weel, who gave my short poems a continuous sparkle. <i>Superguppie</i> was also translated into French and German.<br />
<br />

In several category's books are awarded as the best children's books of the year.<br />
<br />
This year illustrator Marije Tolman and me were both awarded for our book <a href="http://edwardvandevendelenglish.blogspot.com/2018/11/little-fox.html" target="_blank"><i>Little Fox</i></a> (<i>Vosje</i>). Marije got a Silver Pencil for her images and I got a Silver Slate for the text. We are humbled by the idea that both the jury's saw our book as one of the most outstanding. We are also very happy with all the colleagues that we are sharing this honour with.<br />
<br />
Little Fox is the story of the first months of a baby fox, who dreams up his past and is uncertain of his future.

Those books were: <a href="http://edwardvandevendelenglish.blogspot.com/2014/04/vasco-little-soccer-pig.html" target="_blank"><i>Vasco the soccer pig</i></a> and <a href="http://edwardvandevendelenglish.blogspot.com/2017/07/vasco-and-green-monster.html" target="_blank"><i>Vasco and the green monster</i></a>.

<br />
The first book was already sold to China and Brazil and now the Barcelona-based company of <a href="http://www.thuleediciones.com/#/" target="_blank">Thule Edicione</a>s bought the Spanish rights. Thank you very much - and we are looking forward to the Spanish edition! <br />

At the end of December illustrator Anton Van Hertbruggen and me heard that there will be a Slovenian edition of our book <i>The dog that Nino didn't have</i> (<i>Het hondje dat Nino niet had, </i>originally issued by De Eenhoorn). It will be published by Sodobnost. Thanks so much, we're happy!<br />

The publishing house of <a href="https://www.barbarafioreeditora.com/" target="_blank">Barbara Fiore</a> bought the rights of this collection of poems about animals and sports that I wrote to the magnificent illustrations by Wolf Erlbruch.<br />
<br />
The book was originally issued by Querido, Amsterdam and was published in the United States (this summer) by Eerdmans, wonderfully translated by David Colmer. It received the bi-annual Golden Poetry Medal for the best children's poetry book in The Netherlands and Flanders.<br />
Now I'm really happy this book will see the Spanish light as well!<br />
<br />
To other publishers: a full English ánd German translation of all poems is available at Querido - please mail <a href="https://www.singeluitgeverijen.nl/foreign-rights/" target="_blank">Luciënne van der Leije</a>.<br />
