\n\tAndres Jaaksoo (12. V 1945 \u2013 4. V 2021) was an Estonian children\u2019s writer and specialist in children\u2019s literature. He arranged the publication of Estonian and other nations\u2019 children\u2019s literature, translated and interpreted many children\u2019s authors and wrote about the history of children\u2019s literature. The most influential part of his work belongs to the Soviet period.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJaaksoo was born in the village of V\u00e4ika-Kareda in Koigi parish, J\u00e4rvamaa county, the son of a driver. From 1959 to 1963 he attended Paide secondary school, and from 1963 to 1965 studied Estonian philology at Tartu State University. There followed three years in the Soviet army. In 1959, as a school pupil, he established the inter-school almanac Noorte Looming<\/em> (\u2018Young Creation\u2019). From 1969 he worked in the editorial offices of children\u2019s and young people\u2019s magazines and in posts at Estonian publishing houses dealing in children\u2019s literature. From 1991 to 1994 he was the director of the Tiritamm publishing house. Jaaksoo was a member of the jury of the international Hans Christian Andersen prize in 1992 and 1996.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOne of Jaaksoo\u2019s most significant literary works was the compilation of the 14-volume anthology of Estonian children\u2019s literature (1997-2004). Children\u2019s books that have appeared with Andres Jaaksoo\u2019s participation, especially the series of fairy tales initiated by him, Saja rahva lood<\/em> (\u2018Stories of a Hundred Nations\u2019, published 1973-1992, some volumes 2006-2007), have aroused an interest in getting involved with literature for many young Estonians.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
