Eugene Trivizas' books are meant for all those young and adult readers who can free their imagination and see through dreaming a "second reality". It's the poet's reality that gives one the possibility to discover new facets of the world and capture the true meaning of the distorted reality of adults.

 
 

Eugene Trivizas has the gift to rebuild reality in his own way and to communicate it with imagination, dream, bitter smile, fertile criticism, lyrism, discretion, originality, kindness, tenderness, innocence, sensitivity, tradition, charm, humour, paradox, faith in human values and mostly indirect suggestive teachings.

Trivizas' tales have all the elements of real poetry, providing at the same time for children's education.

 
 

The stories in all of his books are animated by the best Greek illustrators.

Being one of Greece's leading writers for children, he has produced more than a hundred books of enduring popularity, all of them currently in print, that are enjoyed as much by grown ups as by children and has received more than twenty national and international literary prizes and awards, the 2003 state prize among them.

 
   

Much of Trivizas work has been transferred to the stage and serialised for television as well as the radio. He is the most frequently performed writer of plays for children in Greece.

 

His first book for children published in English and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury was THE THREE  LITTLE WOLVES AND THE BIG BAD PIG (1993). It has reached the second place in the American best seller list for picture books, has won many distinctions (including A.L.A. notable book and A.S.L.J. Best book and the "Parents Choice Amazing Accomplishment Award") and has been translated in fifteen languages.  THE THREE LITTLE WOLVES AND THE BIG BAD PIG cased an international debate about the stereotypes of evil in children's literature.
