Sir Philip wins the Bodley Medal

 So, fans of Sir Philip Pullman's work will be glad to learn that he is being awarded The Bodley Medal next month. This is the same award given to Christopher Tolkien in 1916. Once again, it's good to see his work in fantasy particularly called out for recognition.

Here's the link describing the event (schduled for November 9th):

I suspect 1916 is a typo for 2016...
