A way with tears makes Magorian a worthy Costa winner - Michelle Magorian scooped the 2008 Costa Children's Book Award with Just Henry, a huge 700-page book that made me cry.

Leona Lewis to write autobiography - Leona Lewis will soon join the ranks of Winston Churchill, Helen Keller and Gandhi by writing an autobiography.

The book will include over 100 new photographs, suggesting that pictures ? and not meticulous prose - will be the means by which Lew... Charlotte Higgins: The Diary's favourite holiday-season pastime was smelling perfumes - The Diary's favourite holiday-season pastime was smelling perfumes, inspired by its favourite holiday-season book: the virtuosic Perfumes: the Guide, by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez, which offers a critical analysis of 1,500 fragrances. Do not scoff: this is a branch of aesthetics as worthy as any other, and Turin and Sanchez's prose is a delight, with scents related to the orchestration of Ravel or to Bruckner symphonies. In its haunting of London's perfumery halls, the Diary ran across novelist Philip Hensher, buying Margaret Thatcher's favourite scent Mitsouko, and Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portra... Charlotte Higgins: Bennett, Burnham and the Booker - There's an annual dose of much-needed sanity in the 2008 diary of Alan Bennett, published in the first London Review of Books of the year. He includes an amusing account of a Downing Street reception he attended for Fanny Waterman, founder of the Leeds piano competition. Andy Burnham, the culture secretary, is described thus: "with his heavy dark hair [he] looks as if he's strayed out of an early Pasolini movie". I hope Burn-ham is an LRB subscriber, because this may well be the most erotically charged thing anyone ever writes about h... Duncan Campbell on what happened when musician Manu Chao took his own train through Colombia - Few musicians would allow a journalist to accompany their band through one of the world's most dangerous countries. Even fewer, one suspects, would be happy about that journalist being their father. But Manu Chao is not just any musician, and his father, Ramón, a critic for le Monde Diplomatique, is not just any journalist - so perhaps it should surprise no one that they ended up together on a legendary 1993 tour of Colombia by train, carrying not just musicians, acrobats and tattooists, but a fire-breathing dragon and an ice museum as well.Ramón's account of ...

Bloomsbury turns from Harry to Hamlet after boy wizard bows out - Bloomsbury, publisher of the Harry Potter books, has snapped up one of the best-known providers of classroom English texts, the Arden Shakespeare, as it looks for growth now that JK Rowling has written her last book about the boy wizard.The acquisition of Arden, which published its first Shakespeare text 110 years ago, follows Bloomsbury's swoop on another niche publisher, the ow...

... Nicolaus Mills: At 90 years old, JD Salinger should be known for more than Catcher in the Rye - It is impossible to know what JD Salinger did to celebrate his 90th birthday a few days ago on January 1, but if he was anywhere near the internet, he could not have failed to notice the many tributes he has inspired. The quality of the tributes, however, leave much to be desired. Even the good ones cannot resist treating Salinger as the perpetually youthful voice of innocence and alienation. I... Gert Jonke, a novelist against the times - "My rage," admitted the great and very sadly late Austrian novelist Gert Jonke, "is great, though it is not usually directed at any given object." And so it was. Eschewing the faddishness of political polemic, Jonke, who died of pancreatic cancer in Vienna aged 62 last Sunday, chose instead to channel his rage through some of the most uncompromisingly experimental novels to have emerged in Europe in the past four decades. At its height, his reputation was grounded principally on the widespread misapprehension about the severe difficulty of his writing. Despite winning the first ever ... Gordon Brown turns food writer - Gordon Brown would whip up a "Chequers steak pie" for the Scottish athlete Eric Liddell, immortalised in the classic film Chariots of Fire, while David Cameron would take the time to slow roast a shoulder of lamb for Victoria Cross recipient Johnson Beharry.The prime minister and Conservative Party leader have revealed the recipes they would serve up to personal heroes for a charity cookbook designed to raise money for Help the Heroes, a charity set up to help wounded military personn...

... Reasons to look at secondhand books again - The consensus of the economic pundits seems to be that 2009 is going to be awful - every bit as bad as 2008. And the chances are that 2010 won't be much better.In the search for silver linings, I conclude that this can only be good news for secondhand book dealers. So my prediction for 2009 is that the devoted book reader will beat a path ever more urgently to those forgotten, out-of-the-way corners of musty tranquility of which the shopping class knows nothing.... Neverland tops league of 2008 critics' picks - He might have missed out on the Booker prize, but Joseph O'Neill's novel about cricket and post-9/11 New York was the literary critics' read of choice last year.According to a list compiled by books charity Booktrust from more than 2,000 end-of-year recommendations published in the British press ahead of Christmas, O'Neill's Netherland - which made it onto the Booker longlist but failed to make the shortlist - was nominated as a "book of the year" 17 times, variously described as "a great American novel" and "suspenseful, artful,...
