Carnegie Award Winner 2015

The winner of the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2015



Tanya Landman’s Carnegie winner, Buffalo Soldier, was inspired by the true story of former slave Cathy Williams, who was the only known African-American woman to enlist in the US army, under the guise of a man, serving for three years before her true identity was discovered.
