Timeline

1954

Melvin Burgess (born 25 April 1954) is a British writer of children's fiction.

1967

Burgess is one of six authors, all 1967 to 1996, who won the Carnegie Medal for their Guardian Prize-winning books.

1990

He completed his first book accepted for publication in his mid-thirties: a novel, The Cry of the Wolf, published by Andersen Press in 1990, which was highly commended by librarians for the Carnegie Medal, which Gillian Cross won for Wolf.

Cross features a girl and a metaphorical wolf, the characters being the last grey wolf in Britain.

Andersen published all of Burgess' books until the mid-1990s.

1993

The Baby and Fly Pie (1993) was another highly commended runner-up for the Carnegie Medal, a distinction that was roughly annual.

1996

He became famous in 1996 with the publication of Junk, about heroin-addicted teenagers on the streets of Bristol.

In Britain, Junk became one of the best-known young adult books of the decade.

Burgess won the annual Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's best children's book by a British author.

Junk won the 1996 Carnegie Medal and also the annual Guardian Children's Fiction Prize judged by a panel of British children's writers, which The Guardian confers only once upon any author.

1997

Kite (1997) features a boy who hatches a red kite egg.

1999

Bloodtide (1999) and Bloodsong (2007) are post-apocalypse adaptations of Volsunga Saga.

2000

In other books such as The Ghost Behind the Wall (2000), Burgess has dealt with less realist and sometimes fantastic themes.

2001

In 2001 Burgess wrote the novelisation of the film Billy Elliot, based on Lee Hall's screenplay.

Polyphony is a narrative technique used in many of his best known novels.

2003

Burgess again attracted controversy in 2003, with the publication of Doing It, which dealt with underage sex.

In the U.S. it was adapted as a television series, Life as We Know It.

2007

For the 10th anniversary in 2007 it was named one of the top ten Medal-winning works, selected by a panel to compose the ballot for a public election of the all-time favourite.

Burgess was born in the Municipal Borough of Twickenham, Middlesex, England (now administered as part of Greater London).
