Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes, was presented with his adult category IBW Book Award by BA President, Jane Streeter, at a small ceremony at John Sandoes Bookshop in Chelsea, London, recently.  He was genuinely delighted to win the prize, and was presented with the certificate and £150 National Book Token by Jane Streeter.

The winner of the children’s category, Eoin Colfer, is being presented with his Award at the Book Centre Wexford, on 25th November – photos of that to follow!

Congratulations to both authors, to John Sandoes Bookshop and the Book Centre, Wexford, for hosting the Awards presentations, and also thanks to the publishers who submitted the titles, booksellers who voted, and customers who chose the winners!
