Reviews
<p> This is the first volume to attempt such a historical study of translation. The variety of works examined and Lathey's readable style make the book an excellent introduction to the often-overlooked role of translators and a solid foundational work for future scholarship in this area. Highly recommended. -- P. J. Kurtz, Minot State University, Choice, January 2011

Highly recommended. -- P. J. Kurtz, Minot State University, Choice, January 2011 '...this book makes a welcome contribution to the field... The book is a thought-provoking and well-written addition to the body of research into children's literature translation and will find an audience not only among scholars of children's literature and translation studies, but also with the more general readership interested in the history and development of children's books.' - Gaby Thomson-Wohlgemuth 'This is indeed a most impressive source book which will prove invaluable to researchers and critics. Beautifully written and impeccably researched, it unearths a wealth of historical detail and identifies many relevant questions.' - Emer O'Sullivan, Target This is the first volume to attempt such a historical study of translation.

Highly recommended. -- P. J. Kurtz, Minot State University, Choice, January 2011 A welcome contribution to the field. - Gaby Thomson-Wohlgemuth, Journal of the British Section of the International Board of Books for Young People Lathey's book is an important first step and it fills a gap in the field of translation studies. One can only hope that soon there will be such books for other languages/cultures as well, and that other researchers will continue the task Lathey has begun. - B.J. Epstein, University of East Anglia, UK
