There are several awards for outstanding children's books. The two most well known are the Caldecott and the Newbery. I was curious what representation fantasy had among the winners and honor recipients of these awards. And if a trend could be observed. Attached is a file with my findings.

This podcast delves deep into the narrative structure of the Harry Potter series. Alastair Stephens hosts this witty and deeply intelligent discussion. He also discusses other books that fit into the style of the series, or books that J.K. Rowling has said influenced her (A Wizard of Earthsea, Worst Witch, and The Sword in the Stone so far).  I can't say enough good about this.

UPDATE: This podcast will never be complete, stopping near the beginning of Order of the Phoenix. On August 2, Alistair announced his immediate retirement from podcasting in a statement on Point North's main page. I am saddened that this has come to an end.
Dear Mr. Potter
