May -set by Julia Donaldson announced a third of the book described by the cult about Gruffalo -for the first time for two decades.
Writer Julia Donaldson returns to the pages that are one of the beloved images of children’s literature – Gruffalo. The BBC reported it.
The third part of the series will be released in 2025 – exactly 20 years after the daughter’s published Gruffalo (2004) and 26 years after the first book (1999), which immediately hit.
The previous components were sold by a total circulation of more than 18 million copies and translated into 107 languages. For their reasons, theatrical productions, series, animation films were created, one of which was nominated for an Oscar.
May -Set admitted that the idea for a new story appeared for a long time, but for a long time he could not find the right plot. The final impetus gives anxiety to falling interest in reading children. According to the National Literacy Fund of Great Britain (NLT), in 2024, only 35% of children aged 8 to 18 years old read in their free time – this is the lowest indicator in the last 20 years.
“Writing a sequel is always difficult. Five years have passed between the publication of the Gruffalo and the daughter of Dokhopalo, and now for more than 20 years, the Gruffalo daughter and the third book will take place. In fact, I had a main idea for this story for a long time, but I couldn’t imagine how to solve it,” Donaldson said in his statement.
Little is known about the new book, but the one has promised to return readers to the dark forest where the first arrival began. It is expected that at this time the plot will be filled with humor, imagination and a wise child with big and terrible rivals.
Earlier it was reported in New Jersey, 81-year-old Mary Cooper returned to the library of a book by her grandfather in March 1926, but did not manage to return.
