	SLA Weblog: Malorie Blackman wins Eleanor Farjeon Award
		Eleanor Farjeon (1881-1965) grew up in England in a house filled with books, and she and her brothers enjoyed reading stories to one another and writing their own.
		In America, Farjeon's best-known work may be the hymn "Morning Has Broken," later recorded by Cat Stevens, but in her native country she is beloved as the author of Elsie Piddock Skips in her Sleep, Martin Pippin in the Apple Orchard, and, of course, The Little Bookroom.
		Farjeon was pleased when The Little Bookroom won the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award and the Carnegie Medal, but she turned down another honor—Dame of the British Empire—explaining that she "did not wish to become different from the milkman." At her death, the Children's Book Circle established the Eleanor Farjeon Award in her honor.

	HARRY FARJEON
		Harry Farjeon is one of a number of prolific composers whose music was popular during the early decades of the twentieth century, but whose names are now virtually forgotten.
		Many of Farjeon's piano pieces were very popular; copies of the most successful, such as "Night Music" and "Pictures from Greece" can still be found in second-hand shops today.
		Harry Farjeon was a well-respected composer in his day: some of his orchestral music was considered significant enough to be premiered at Henry Wood's Promenade Concerts between 1903 and 1942, but today he is more likely to be remembered as the teacher of George Lloyd, or the brother of Eleanor Farjeon.
