David Almond ARTICLE David Almond says he had always wanted to be a writer. But along the way to becoming an award-winning short story author in his native England, Almond was also a "mailman, a brush salesman, an editor, and a teacher." Years after his success in writing fiction for adults, the idea for SKELLIG, his first novel for young people, came to him. That book, about a magical creature who changes the life of a boy, won England's prestigious 1998 Carnegie Medal as well as the 1998 Whitbread Children's Book of the Year award. When SKELLIG arrived on US shores last year (published by Delacorte), it was named a 2000 Michael L. Printz Honor Book, and received tons of other accolades. Almond's second young adult novel, KIT'S WILDERNESS, is quickly earning the same kind of praise, having already received honors in England and several terrific reviews here since its American release from Delacorte in March 2000. - Shannon Maughan INTERVIEW April 7, 2000

2. ACHUKA - David Almond An interview from Achuka with the author.Category Arts Literature Authors A Almond, David......David Almond. 1 The death game in Kit's Wilderness is hauntingly real.Is it based on something you played yourself? No, but a group http://www.achuka.co.uk/daint.htm

David Almond 1 The death game in Kit's Wilderness is hauntingly real. Is it based on something you played yourself? No, but a group of children at my primary school did play a similar game. I remember them huddling together and whispering in the long grass at the edge of the playground. I never knew exactly what was going on, but knew that fainting and feigned death were involved. It terrified me. When I began to ponder the images and characters that were eventually to form Kit's Wilderness, the memory of the game returned to haunt me. At times, I was very scared when I was writing the book! 2 The new novel is at once a much darker and a braver book than Skellig. It acknowledges an adolescent fascination/fixation with death in a way which fastens on to themes found in Shelley, Coleridge and the early Tennyson. You seem wholly uninfluenced by contemporary fiction, or by the contemporary PSHE (Personal, Social and Health education) mindset. Do you, like the Blake-quoting character in Skellig, derive your inspiration from writers of earlier periods? 3 Many, many children's books deal with a battle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. In Kit's Wilderness there is also a literal conflict between the underground darkness of the mine and the sunlight above. Were you conscious as you wrote that the pit-setting provided you with the perfect metaphor, and did you have to guard against drawing too-obvious parallels.

David Almond David Almond (1951) debuteerde met Skellig dat meteen werd bekroond met de Whitbread Prize en de Carnegie Medal, de twee belangrijkste prijzen voor jeugdliteratuur in het Engelse taalgebied. Hij groeide op in een groot katholiek gezin in het plaatsje Felling on Tyne. Daar was alles wat je nodig had om je verbeelding te laten werken: oude mijnen, heide, rare types, oom Amos die tijdens familiefeestjes zijn gedichten voorlas... en een prima bibliotheek.

"It was a place of ancient coal mines, dark terraced streets, strange shops, new estates and wild heather hills," he explains. "Our lives were filled with mysterious and unexpected events, and the place and the people have given me many of my stories." He had different jobs after leaving school. He worked as a brush salesman, a builder's labourer, a hotel porter and a postman as well as spending many years as a teacher. But he always wanted to be a writer. "As a boy I wrote stories and made them into little books. I loved the local library, and dreamed that books with my name on the covers would one day stand on the shelves". David Almond's first novel for children, Skellig , won the Whitbread Children's Book of the Year and the Carnegie Medal, and his second, Kit's Wilderness , won the Smarties Award Silver Medal, was Highly Commended for the Carnegie Medal, and shortlisted for the Guardian Award.
