The Children’s LiteratureResearch Unit of the University of South Africaapproached the delegates representing theAfrican IBBY sections with an offer to organise abiennial conference in Africa. This was greetedwith great enthusiasm and the first AfricanBiennial IBBY Regional Conference is scheduledto take place in Swaziland in September 2011,through the efforts of Thomas van der Walt. The dates are 1 – 3 September 2011, and the venue isto be Pigg’s Peak in Swaziland. UNISA has calledfor papers on any aspect of African literature forchildren and young people: whether it be writingfor Africa’s children; the art of African illustration;the standard and quality of publishing for Africa’syoung people the field is wide open.More details will be forthcoming in the nextnewsletter. For now, if you wish to register, orto express an interest in submitting a paper, orsimply for more information, go to http://www.statcomdistribution.co.za/conferences/. Or emailThomas van der Walt at vdwaltb@unisa.ac.za.What for a Book Fair?The announcement in the Cape Times of 25 Januarythat the Cape Town Book Fair will now happenevery second year is a wise decision. Already,last year’s presentation had a lacklustre impact.Several major publishers did not take stands,including Random House Struik and Penguin.Southern Africa needs a book fair. But thereare two main problems for Cape Town. Firstly,South Africa is not yet a book-mad country.Secondly, nobody seems quite sure what our bookfair ought to do or be.I have visited international book fairs inLondon, Toronto, Bologna and Gothenburg. TheBologna Children’s Book Fair is restricted to youthliterature only and is for the trade only.The annual Gothenburg Book Fair is theone most like Cape Town. It lasts for four days.The first day and a half is for the trade andbook professionals. At noon on the Friday, thepublic surges in and for two and a half days it’shappy chaos! In September 2010, over 100 000visitors attended. There were 466 lectures andpresentations during the four days, going onvirtually non-stop and all very well attended. Theexhibitors were the kind of mix we see in CapeTown: publishers, book-sellers, book promotioncompanies, libraries and library suppliers, printers,etc.There is a separately organised children’sbook component which this year invited twentyspeakers, mostly from Africa – as that was thegeographic focus. I was one of those invited.Other representatives of South African children’sliterature were Lesley Beake, Patricia Schonstein,Gabeba Baderoon and Sindiwe Magona.What can South Africa learn from Sweden?Firstly, to take children’s literature seriously.I met more African authors and illustrators inGothenburg than I’ve ever done in Cape Town!There was a well-structured programme of paneldiscussions, author talks, and public interviews.Secondly, the many speaking venues at thefair all had plenty of seating and good acoustics.The CTICC is not the best place for hearing withease.Thirdly, the presenters and publishers needto sort out the balance of trade days and public.We should be showing off our best publications.Where are the prizes for the best books of theyear? Where are the exhibitions of illustration? Inwhat way are our book creators (whether of adultor youth literature) being boosted and made tofeel proud at our book fair?Gothenburg had storytelling sessions –plenty of them. They weren’t merely a “dumpyour kiddies here” area! Until the Cape Town BookFair takes children and their books seriously, howcan our teachers, librarians and parents realisethe genuine importance of books?Sweden considers that authors and illustratorsare important people. Is it strange that the Swedesare avid book-readers? South Africa gives hardlyany recognition to its book creators. Yet Africa isthe land where story began.Thankfully, the organisers of the Cape TownBook Fair now have an extra year to think itthrough and get some more of the answers right.Why not start with encouraging a love of books?– Jay Heale

The quizhas heats in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, SouthAfrica, Canada, the USA and China, and winning teamsqualify for national and world finals. The Kids’ Lit Quizis not for profit and is run entirely by volunteers.

The Cape Town leg was hosted byGrove Primary School, where 27 teams from variousCape Town schools took part. Wayne Mills had somewonderfully challenging questions in the ten categories,which were: Baddies, Bears, Christmas, Cities, Dogs,Fruit, Harry Potter, Horses, Islands and Monsters.There were high fives and smiles aplenty but alsosome groans and perplexed faces. Teams who camefirst in a category were rewarded with cash prizes onthe spot, R5 coins were earned for correct spot answersand even the adults were given a chance to displaytheir literary knowledge, winning Pick n Pay vouchersfor their efforts.After two hours points were totalled up. Grovetook the top two places, followed by St George’sThe Grove team came second at the SA finals Grammar School in third place. The winning teams woncash prizes, all donated by the main sponsor ExclusiveBooks.The South African finals took place at ExclusiveBooks, Tygervalley, on Saturday 19 February. Teamsthat had come first in their regional heats were invited.The host regions (last year Joburg, this year CapeTown) were allowed two teams each. The teams were StJohn’s – JHB, Roedean – JHB, Christ Church – Pretoria,Manor Gardens – Durban, Clarendon Park – PE, Pelham– Pietermaritzburg, Grove 1 and Grove 2 – CT.The finals were run very differently from theregional heats. Each team had a buzzer and all thechildren had their fingers poised over it. There werefive rounds of twelve questions, including questions onbooks and films, characters in books, and authors andopening lines.The teams were pretty fantastic and theirknowledge was phenomenal. Without googling it – howmany of you can, like one of the girls, identify the bookwith these opening lines, ‘The first place that I can wellremember ’?Well done to Grove, who came second. The winningteam was Manor Gardens, who were outstanding: theywere twelve points ahead of everyone at the end. Thisteam of three girls and one boy will leave for NewZealand in June to take part in the World Finals inHamilton.

Text: Robin Malan, Kathy Madlener, Fourie BothaLayout & Design: Raiël le Roux LettersReviva Schermbrucker’s article, ‘Whose story is it anyway?’(IBBY Newsletter 61, July 2010) struck a cord with me. Ihad just published an article in the English Academy Review(27(1), May 2010) called ‘San tales – again: acknowledgementand appropriation’. It was prompted by a review of San Talesfrom Africa by Rafaella Delle Donne in the Mail & Guardian(6 April 2007) by Helen Yardley, a page layout designer atthe newspaper. In it she wrote, ‘A number of children’s booksbased on African myth and legend have been published,’ andthen went on to make the totally inaccurate statement, ‘butthis is the first that focuses solely on those originating fromthe San people.’Writers and literary critics agree that there are twoways of doing justice to the original ‘owners’: make specificacknowledgement, and make your modern version as good aspossible. (Donne, incidentally, does both.) Another problematicaspect is the relation between a new version and previousversions. For example, Stephen Watson, who publishedversified versions of /Xam narratives recorded and translatedby Bleek and Lloyd, accused Antjie Krog of plagiarising hisReturn of the Moon when she published her versions in thestars say tsau.Just how topical Reviva Schermbrucker’s question iscan be illustrated by the following anecdote. When Shuterspublished a book by Gcina Mhlophe called The SingingChameleon in 2008, I wrote to the publishers to point out that this had also been the title of a collection of versionsof folktales for children by Geraldine Elliot, published byRoutledge in 1957. It was the fourth collection by Elliot, whodid an enormous amount through her books to make Africanfolktales known both in South Africa and in the UK and USA.This was Arabella Koopman’s reply:‘I forwarded your email to Gcina Mhlophe and we have discussedits content. Neither Gcina nor I intended any disrespect to anyauthor by the use of the title The Singing Chameleon – includingthose Africans who originated the story long ago. In fact, thisstory is billed as one that is retold by Gcina (as indicated onthe title page) as it is a traditional story from Malawi (thisis also indicated on the jacket and title page). Thus, neitherGcina nor SONGOLOLO (as her publisher) is laying claim tothe title of the story – much like the publishers and author ofanother retelling of Little Red Riding Hood would not lay claimto originating the title of this traditional story.‘The book appropriately acknowledges the source of thestory as a traditional Malawian tale as this is its origin. It wouldbe completely inappropriate for us to acknowledge GeraldineElliot in this book as – despite her contribution to the collectionof African traditional tales – in this instance, her work wasneither the inspiration for, nor the source of, our text.’– Elwyn JenkinsReviews / Resensies– by Lona GerickeUntil we find a new manager for our website (any offers, anyone?), we reproduce the full reviews here:Totdat ons ’n nuwe webmeester vir ons webwerf kry, plaas ons die volledige resensies hier:Om ’n ster te vang,Elana du Toit (LAPA,2010)Om ’n ster te vang isElana du Toit se eersteboek.
