Welcome to Lily Hyde’s website! Hop aboard the trolleybus and come for a ride…  You can find information about my published books for children and young adults, read about the places I’ve been and where I’m planning to go next – and why I’m obsessed with trolleybuses. If you’d like to get in touch, stop off at the contact page. I’d love to hear from you. Or you can leave a comment in my notebook, where you can find my musings on writing, reading and travelling, on affairs in England, Ukraine, Russia, China... and on anything else I may be thinking about. 21 May 2013 - Dream Land has been translated into Crimean Tatar, the native language of the people this novel is about. Only an estimated five percent of Crimean Tatar children can speak Crimean Tatar. It would be tragic if this language were to disappear, after the long struggle the Crimean Tatars have had to preserve their culture and identity through persecution and exile. I'm delighted by the translation, and hope it will help to revive interest in this beautiful, endangered language.
