His 100 part Lost Animals TV series (narrated by Greta Scacchi) was commissioned by the Knowledge Network in US, Channel 4 in UK and NHK in Japan – and later translated into 18 languages. Through the 1980’s and 1990’s, Day was also an environmental columnist for Britain’s Daily Mail, Evening Standard, Sunday Times and Punch magazine.Īfter the 1996 publication of his Quest For King Arthur, David Day was commissioned by the Birmingham Royal Ballet as dramaturge for the epic two-part ballet, Arthur I and Arthur II (2000).ĭavid Day has also written for theatre and television. That year, his poems were prize winners in the CBC National Poetry Competition. In 1986, The Emperor’s Panda was runner-up for the Governor General’s Award and the National Library Award, and was adapted for stage by the Toronto Young People’s Theatre.
And in 1984, Day wrote Castles, the first of five books in collaboration with the Academy Award winning artist, Alan Lee. In 1981, his Doomsday Book of Animals was a ‘Book of the Year’ selection for Time Magazine, New Scientist, Los Angeles Times and The Observer. In 1978, he published A Tolkien Bestiary, the first of his six best selling books on the works of J R R Tolkien.
He has subsequently travelled extensively, and lived in England, Greece, Spain and Canada. He was writer in residence at the Aegean School of Fine Arts in Paros, Greece, and worked for the Canadian Publishers McClelland Stewart in Toronto. His first book of poems, The Cowichan (based on his timber camp journals) was published in 1975, and he graduated from the Department of Creative Writing at the University of Victoria the following year. After high school, Day divided the next decade between work in logging camps and study at universities. David Day’s books – for both adults and children – have sold over three million copies worldwide and were translated into twenty languages. He is a poet and author who has published over 40 books of poetry, ecology, history, fantasy, mythology and fiction. Democrats have failed to exhibit responsible stewardship of the country, and voters are putting them on notice. David Day was born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia. The results of the 2009 elections could be overread, but they cannot be ignored. Americans - some unwittingly - put in place the most radical government in generations, and they now are realizing what they have wrought. Obama’s election brought the United States astronomical public debt, a slumping currency, increasing government control of the economy, continued job losses, radical judges, a disastrous foreign policy, a proposed government takeover of health care and a job-killing energy bill. Obama ran on a vaguely defined “hope and change” platform, and Americans have discovered that the devil is in the details. The irrational exuberance of the 2008 race has since crashed down to cold, hard reality. There is no empirical evidence that the country is becoming “America the liberal.” The most recent Gallup survey of political ideology reports that 40 percent of Americans self-identify as conservative, up three points from 2008, while just 20 percent self-identify as liberal, down two points from a year ago.
