Mythopoeic Fantasy Awards 2006 Winners

You may remember that in June I reported the shortlist for the Mythopoeic Awards, well the winners were announced last weekend at Mythcon in Norman, Oklahoma, and they were Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys (for the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature), Jonathan Stroud's The Bartimaeus Trilogy (for the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children's Literature), Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull's The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion (for the Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Inklings Studies), and Jennifer Schacker's National Dreams: The Remaking of Fairy Tales in Nineteenth-Century England (for the Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in General Myth and Fantasy Studies). Which means that two of the books/series I wanted to win did in fact do so !!
