The Phoenix Award of the Children's Literature Association International (ChLA), begun in 1985, is given to the author of a children's book first published twenty years earlier that did not win a major award then but is deemed worthy of special recognition for its high literary quality. This volume brings together for the first time the acceptance speeches of the award-winning writers from the first five years the award was given: Rosemary Sutcliff, Robert Burch, Leon Garfield, Erik Christian Haugaard, and Helen Cresswell, with papers about the award-winning books and the honor books by Milton Meltzer and Adrienne Richard and biographies of the writers and bibliographies of their books for children.

The Phoenix Award is an award made by The Children's Literature Association that honors a book deserving special recognition for its high literary quality and is awarded to a book published 20 years earlier. The award encourages publishers to continue to make such books available and to suggest to readers that they hold dear those traits that have given such books universality and timelessness. This new volume covers the year 1990 to 1994 and contains the papers presented on the award-winning books, as well as the honor books for each year. Information is provided about each author, including a list of his or her works for children and the acceptance speech given at the annual banquet. A scholarly work that breathes with the life of a reading community, this outstanding volume is directed at the professionals who attend to children's literature―librarians, teacher educators, and scholars in the modern languages. Phoenix Award Winners:Enchantress from the Stars (1970); A Long Way from Verona (1971); A Sound of Chariots (1972); Carrie's War (1973); Of Nightingales that Weep (1974). Phoenix Honor Books: Ravensgill (1970); Sing Down the Moon (1970); The Tombs of Atuan (1971); A Game of Dark (1971); A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver (1973); My Brother Sam is Dead (1974); Listen for the Fig Tree (1974).
