Meet Lee Hodgkinson

Just yesterday, some of the new children’s books due to be published this year arrived at our offices. Among them is *Goldilocks and Just One Bear* by Leigh Hodgkinson, which is already in bookshops. Leigh, an award-winning illustrator and animation director, lives in England and is married with a young daughter. In her spare time, she paints and designs various decorative items for her home and her daughter’s room, which she then posts on her blog, along with photographs and detailed instructions.

Goldilocks, in this modern version as presented by Lee, was one of the first foreign books we decided to translate into Greek, and one of the most difficult! This is because much of the text in the original book consisted of handwritten notes by the illustrator herself. The truth is that we tried very hard to capture the style and character of Lee’s writing, but even so, the anxiety over whether we’d succeeded gnawed at us every day. Until Lee received copies of the Greek edition and wrote about her excitement on her blog! Our relief and joy were immense, as you can imagine.

Lee has just received the Greek edition of the book.
We all know that when Goldilocks turned the three bears’ house upside down, they said goodbye to her with great relief. But have you ever wondered what happened next? Years later, the little bear gets lost in the big city, and guess who she meets! A clever and funny sequel to a much-loved fairy tale, by an award-winning illustrator.
