Fun for the Secret Seven by Enid Blyton. The Gathering by Anne Enright. Hughes received her first award in , the Los Angeles Ovation Award. Hughes , was an Irish-born New Zealand philosopher and logician whose principal scholarly works were concerned with modal logic and medieval philosophy.
Hughes was born on 8 June in Waterford city, Ireland. He then studied for a year at the University of Cambridge, before being called back to Glasgow as an assistant lecturer.
