Two books released by SKS Publishers last year have been shortlisted by the adjudication board of the 2017 edition of the National Book Prize.
They are Western: Bejn Rakkonti, Bejn Divertimenti by Alfred Sant and L-Iżvilupp tal-Edukazzjoni f’Malta (1430-1920) by Joseph Xerri.
Dr Sant’s book is a collection of short stories and the other publication consists of an extensive history of the development of education in Malta until the 1930s.
