Young Quill Award Evening

HERE can be found an extra-special review of Song Hunter.

It's extra-special, first because it's both thoughtful and intelligent, and, second, because it was written by Jacob, who is young enough to one of the people for whom Song Hunter was written.

HERE, written by one of the organisers of the Young Quills Award, is another very kind review. It talks of 'deeply complex subject-matter', and, you know something? When I was writing Song Hunter I spent a long time thinking about the beginnings of creativity, and I'm deeply grateful to know that someone has noticed.

I received my Young Quills Award on Wednesday evening. Song Hunter won the youngest category, my friend Catherine Johnson was there to receive the senior one, and the only disappointment was that trouble with trains meant that Geraldine McCaughrean couldn't be there to receive her prize for the middle age group.

The Young Quills Award is run by the Historical Association, which is concerned with history education at all levels. As well as the Young Quill Awards there was a dissertation prize, and various awards of fellowships, and lastly Prof Sir Richard Evans, Regius Professor of History at Cambridge University, was awarded the Medlicott Medal and gave an illustrated talk on the origins of WW1.

I felt extremely proud indeed to be part of it all.

  2. The rolex replica hand-wound manufacture JCFM04 movement is seriously impressive from a technical standpoint. For starters, there are two fake rolex uk separate power reserves, one of the tourbillon, hours and minutes, and a dedicated reserve for the music box complication. While fake watches uk timekeeping sits at 42 hours of reserve, the music box can play the full 30-second, 120-note melody three times before winding Rolex replica is needed. In addition to the two musical barrels, when activated, the music box rotates the entire movement, subdial fake Rolex and all, 120 degrees clockwise around the central axis while the hours and minutes subdial rotates on its replica watches own to ensure that 12 o’clock remains properly oriented. Beyond the music box, there’s the triple-axis replica watches uk tourbillon, counter-rotating in three unique directions at three different speeds. The outer cage completes a rotation fake rolex every 180 seconds, with the middle cage rotating once every 48 seconds, and the inner cage completing its replica rolex circuit in 24 seconds.
