Congratulations Margaret!
New Zealand author Margaret Mahy has won the world’s premier prize for children’s writing, the Hans Christian Andersen Award.

The productionshed.tv team would like to offer our congratulations to Margaret and her publishers: this award couldn’t have gone to a more wonderful and talented woman.
Yvonne and Margaret have a long-standing relationship, having worked on such projects as: Cuckoo Land, The Haunting of Barney Palmer, and Typhon’s People, which featured noted actors like Alfred Molina, Greg Wise, Lucy Lawless, and Sophie Lee.
