About Tiritamm

TIRITAMM publishing house has specialized on publishing literature for children and young adults. The small enterprise TIRITAMM was established in Oct. 1, 1991 as a legal successor to the children’s literature division of the publishing house Eesti Raamat. Its priority is to publish works of value only, both originals and translations.

TIRITAMM presents to the reader Estonian classics of children’s literature, including the works of Ernst Enno, Jakob Kõrv, Oskar Luts, and also contemporary top-class authors like Heljo Mänd (the annual K. E. Sööt children’s poetry award), Ellen Niit (IBBY Honor List), Aino Pervik (the annual award of Estonian literature), Eno Raud (IBBY Honor List). Also the high level works of newcomers have reached the reader through our publishing house.

The biggest part of our production is translations: the world classics literature for children and young adults, and also the works of contemporary top authors (Lloyd Alexander, Donald Bisset, Maria Gripe, Tjorbjørn Egner, Michael Ende, Tove Jansson, Astrid Lindgren, Terry Pratchett, Ottfried Preussler, Philip Pullman, J. R. R. Tolkien).

TIRITAMM hasn’t forgotten also the native and foreign folklore.

As illustrators, TIRITAMM has used both Estonian and foreign high-class book designers (Björn Berg, Ülle Meister, Jaan Tammsaar (IBBY Honor List), Jirí Trnka, Edgar Valter (IBBY Honor List), Ingrid Vang-Nyman, Ilon Wikland), and also the works of younger Estonian book designers (Anne Linnamägi, Regina Lukk, Juss Piho, Piret Raud, Reti Saks). Thanks to their work, TIRITAMM books are always beautifully and tastefully designed, and have won renown both here and abroad.
