Phoenix AwardThe Phoenix Award is awarded annually to a book originally published in English twenty years previously which did not receive a major award at the time of its publication. It was established in 1985 by the Children's Literature Association, an association that wishes to promote serious study of children's literature. The recipient is chosen by an elected committee of Children's Literature Association members from nominations made by members and others. The award is named after the mythical bird Phoenix which rises from its ashes. It signifies the book's rise from obscurity. List of Phoenix Award Winners - 2003: Ivan Southall, The Long Night Watch
