| The Children’s Literature
Research Unit (CLRU) was invited by the Chinese Publishers
Development Foundation to exhibit at the Taipei International Book
Exhibition (TIBE) from 1 to 6 February 2001. The CLRU was given a
complimentary stand at this exhibition by the organisers and with
the generous sponsorship from Old Mutual plc, the exhibiting of
South African children’s books was made possible.
The TIBE is the largest book fair in Asia, and
the fourth largest fair in the world, and South African children’s
books, received attention on a global platform. More or less 150
South African children's books of the following publishers were
exhibited: Anansi; ELRU; Human & Rousseau; Juta; Kagiso
Education; LAPA; Maskew Miller Longman; READ; Tafelberg and Van
Schaik. Visitors to the exhibition were impressed with the high
quality of South African books, and the CLRU has been invited by the
organisers to exhibit at TIBE 2002.
