Message from Sir Christopher Frayling to Dedalus
"Dedalus is to be warmly congratulated on its critical success in the field of literary publishing and translation.
For the past quarter of a century Dedalus has built up its strong reputation within this specialised sector, and to the point where it can now celebrate its quarter century of publishing and partnerships with confidence and just pride.
The word 'congratulations' should be translated into every language under the sun.and put on every page of this catalogue."
Support from Marion Boyars Publishers
Dear Dedalus
We are positive that your talents, intellectual scope and services to international publishing will mean that the Arts Council will relent, and agree to further funding into the future.
We for one, would be immensely sad to see Dedalus disappear from the independent literary publishing scene in the UK. We are a small, intensely hard-working band of committed small companies, and we need our friends.
With best wishes

Praise for Dedalus from Arcadia
"Excellence, innovation and especially courage sum up Dedalus perfectly. To have stayed the course for 25 years is no small achievement in the world of independent publishing - or publishing generally, with its corporate mergers. Dedalus also makes it fun. Here's to another 25 years of Dedalus Decadence - and to continuing Arts Council support."
Gary Pulsifer from Arcadia Books
Praise for Dedalus from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation
"Dedalus have for many years been leading players in the industry in sourcing classic literature in its original language and making new translations available to an English-reading public. The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in the UK have been delighted to partner Dedalus in the translation of, among other works, major novels by Eça de Queiróz, considered to be one of Portugal's greatest writers. This has been a valuable strand of our work in helping bring changes to the experiences people can enjoy in life through our support for education, the arts, and other social change alongside our specific remit to promote Portuguese culture in the UK and Ireland."
Andrew Barnett Director Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (UK)
