From Wikipedia: "William Mayne wrote more than a hundred books including the Choir School quartet comprising A Swarm in May, Choristers' Cake, Cathedral Wednesday and Words and Music (1955-1963) and the Earthfasts trilogy comprising Earthfasts, Cradlefasts and Candlefasts (1966-2000), an unusual evocation of the King Arthur legend. For A Grass Rope he won the 1957 Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's best children's book by a British subject.[8] He was also a commended runner up for the Medal five times - twice in competition with himself - for A Swarm in May (1955), Choristers' Cake (1956), Member for the Marsh (1956), Blue Boat (1957), and Ravensgill (1970).[9][a] Finally he won the 1993 Guardian Children's Fiction Prize for Low Tide, a once-in-a-lifetime book award established in 1966, judged by a panel of British children's writers.[10] A Swarm in May was adapted as a feature film by the Children's Film Unit in 1983[11] and a five-part television series of Earthfasts was broadcast by the BBC in 1994.[12] In 2004 he was imprisoned for two and a half years and placed on the British sex offenders registry for life after admitting sexual abuse of "young girl fans" (11 indecent assaults). According to The Guardian, the prosecutor "said Mayne had treated young visitors as adults". He was also described in the courtroom as "the greatest living writer of children's books in English".[6] According to Eccleshare, "Mayne's books were largely deliberately removed from shelves from 2004 onwards", after his conviction.[1]".
