A Monster Calls (2011)
Today Patrick Ness and Jim Kay won the British CILIP year's best awards as author and illustrator of this book "from an idea by Siobhan Dowd". Carnegie Medal in Literature dates from 1936; Kate Greenaway Medal dates from 1955; this is the first double win for one book, by one person or two.

A Monster Calls is from an idea by Siobhan Dowd. According to The Guardian interview with Ness & Kay, she had discussed the story, and contracted to write it, with editor XXX, who was and is also editor for Ness. The interview covers the senses in which Ness [a] made the story his own and [b] feels that he worked with Dowd.

Evidently, the Daily Telegraph also interviewed Ness & Kay. I have provided references for six news stories at Talk: A Monster Calls --although I have yet read only two of them, only one Ness-Kay interview. --P64 (talk) 20:11, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Four months later,
 * A Monster Calls provides more references
 * Talk:A Monster Calls provides more references
 * Some may be worthy here. --P64 (talk) 02:19, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
