Literary Classics Winners!

2016 Literary Classics Book Awards

Aunt Phil’s Trunk Alaska history books win international awards

Anchorage, AK – Aunt Phil’s Trunk received two top honors in the 2016 Literary Classics Book Awards this week. Chosen out of entries submitted from around the globe, the Aunt Phil’s Trunk Alaska history books earned gold for Best Historical Nonfiction and Best Nonfiction Series.

This prestigious award contest recognizes honorees for their contribution to the craft of writing, illustrating and publishing exceptional literature for a youth audience.

Series author Laurel Downing Bill will be traveling from Anchorage to Las Vegas, NV in October to receive the awards and to participate in the renowned Vegas Valley Book Festival held on Oct. 15, 2016. This is the largest literary event in Nevada.

The Aunt Phil’s Trunk five-book series features entertaining short stories and hundreds of historical photographs. The books highlight different eras and are on the approved list for teaching Alaska history through the popular Interior Distance Education of Alaska program.

The series developed after Downing Bill came across writings and research done by her paternal aunt, Phyllis Downing Carlson, another lifelong Alaskan. “Aunt Phil” won many awards for her stories that appeared in publications such as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, San Francisco Chronicle and Alaska Sportsman Magazine (now Alaska Magazine).

Downing Bill said she needed literary tools to develop her aunt’s work, as well as her own research, into a format that would appeal to the general public. She wanted to share Alaska’s history in a way that people from age 9 to 99 could enjoy.

The third-generation Alaskan returned to school and earned a degree in journalism, with a minor in history, from the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2003. She then dove into the project and released her first book, which goes up to the year 1900, in 2006. The rest followed soon after: Volume Two (1900-1912) in 2007; Volume Three (1912-1935) in 2008; Volume Four (1935-1960) in 2009, and Volume Five (1960-1984) in 2016.

The books, which retail for $19.95, are available at www.AuntPhilsTrunk.com, as well as Amazon.com and bookstores and gift shops across Alaska. They also are in eBook form.

Author/speaker Downing Bill can be found at her booth at the Anchorage Downtown Market and Festival on weekends until Aug. 21, the Alaska State Fair in Palmer Aug. 25-Sept. 5 and various Christmas shows around the state during 2016. She also appears Monday mornings on KTVA Channel 11’s Daybreak during “Alaska Story Time with Aunt Phil.”
