Literary career
BBC Children's television has brought some of Bawden's 55 books to life. Many of them have been translated into Spanish.
On the Run (1964), The Witch's Daughter (1966), The Birds on the Trees (1970), Carrie's War (1973), and The Peppermint Pig (1975). She received the Guardian Children's Fiction Award in 1976, a once-in-a-lifetime book award judged by a panel of British children's writers. The Children's Literature Association named Carrie's War as the best English-language children's book that did not receive a major contemporary award when it first appeared twenty years ago. It is named after the mythical bird phoenix, which has been revived from its ashes, in order to show the book's ascension from obscurity. (The War at Bolton and Carrie was a commended runner up for the Carnegie Medal by the Library Association, recognizing the year's best children's book by a British subject.)
The Lost Man Booker Prize's shortlist was drawn in 2010 by Bawden and The Birds on the Trees. The Booker-McConnell Award for the year's best British novel had been delayed four years ago. Out of the six finalists, Bawden and Shirley Hazzard were the only living nominees; J. G. Farrell for Troubles was the only living nominees; "A Lifetime's Distinguished Service to Literature" was given the Golden PEN Award by English PEN in 2004.
