History

The award was founded by publisher Kurt Maschler in 1982, best-known as the publisher of Emil and the Detectives by Erich Kästner. Until it's discontinuation in 1999, it was overseen by Maschler's son, Tom Maschler.

The "Kurt Maschler Award" winner was announced yearly in December for books published during that year, and honoured both the author and illustrator. Winners were awarded both a prize of £1000, and a bronze 'Emil' figurine. The award was administered by the "Book Trust".
