Boston Globe Horn Book speeches
They are now online. Among the recipients are Sir Terry Pratchett (Nation), whose speech was read in absentia; Neil Gaiman (also absent but a video of him accepting the award as well as his speech is here). That’s for The Graveyard Book, of course; and M.T. Anderson in person for …Octavian Nothing II – The Kingdom on the Waves.
The entire ceremony has been captured in 15 videos on the Horn Book site. The marvellous Margaret Mahy and partner in illustration Polly Dunbar get guernseys too.
