We were pleased to receive a starred review from School Library Journal for The New York Review Children's Collection edition of Otfried Preussler's The Robber Hotzenplotz: 

"Both wonderfully timeless and quirky, this unconventional adventure will delight its audience and belongs in most collections.” —School Library Journal

The New York Review Children's Collection publishes Preussler's Krabat and the Sorcerer's Mill, The Little Water Sprite, The Little Witch, and The Robber Hotzenplotz. To learn more about Otfried Preussler, one of Germany's most beloved children's authors, visit his author page. 

GQ Magazine recently listed D.G. Compton's dark, futuristic novel, The Continuous Katherine Mortenhoe, as a "must read" for the month of July. Kevin Nguyen writes of Compton's book, "Considering Katherine Mortenhoe was originally published in 1974, the book is eerily relevant in a world where we’ve surrendered so much of our personal information to tech giants like Facebook and Google. It also reads like something written today, which is impressive for something written yesterday about tomorrow."

This Father's Day, share books from NYRB with your dad. We recommend Twenty Days with Julian & Little Bunny by Papa, Nathaniel Hawthorne's tender and funny reflection on three weeks spent with his five-year-old son, with an introduction by Paul Auster. For read alouds, we suggest William McCleery's Wolf Story (with illustrations by Warren Chappell), a book about a father, his son, and a perpetual bedtime (and other times) story about a not-so-canny wolf and his desired dinner, a hen.

Want to learn more about Garth Williams, who illustrated The Rescuers, Stuart Little, and Charlotte's Web? We recommend Sarah Larson's article on Williams, and the new biography of the illustrator out this month, on the New Yorker's Page-Turner blog. 

The New York Review Children's Collection publishes The Rescuers in hardcover, and this September we'll publish a paperback edition in our new NYRB Kids series. 

On Tuesday, June 7, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., Shakespeare & Co. (93 Lexington Ave, New York) will host a book club conversation about Patrick Modiano's Young Once, published by NYRB Classics. Translator Damion Searls will join the discussion.

To participate, please RSVP to events@shakeandco.com or in the store. Visit Shakespeare & Co.'s website for more information. 

On Tuesday, May 17, at 7 p.m., join us at Book Culture (536 W. 112th St, New York) to toast the store's new NYRB Classics section, which will include the complete series—all 430 titles.

Series editor Edwin Frank will give remarks, along with other introducers, authors, and translators of NYRB Classics. We hope to see you there!

Elizabeth Willis’s collection Alive: New and Selected Poems was selected as one of two finalists for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. In their citation for Alive, the jury wrote “A book worthy of its title in which the poet calls readers to look deep within themselves and regard anew the struggle to live.”
