Lathey, acting director of the National Center for Research in Children's Literature, gathers journal articles and book chapters, published during the last 30 years. From an investigation of linguistic features specific to children's translation, to a model of narrative communication with the child reader in translated texts, the essays offer new insights into the challenges of translating for the young. Material explores themes related to theoretical approaches and their application, translating the visual, the travels of children's books and cross-cultural influences, and the translator's voice. The book is distributed in the US by UTP Distribution. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
