Outside In: Children's Books in Translation

 

 Book Cover

 

The Outside In: Children's Books in Translation published by Milet Publishing in 2005 explored the rich tradition and culture of children's literature from a host of countries around the world.

Published over fifteen years ago when interest in translated books was increasing, it was a  timely and engaging guide for a broad range of readers including teachers, librarians, students, parents, booksellers, authors, publishers and anyone interested in children's books.

With lively and comprehensive reviews of children's books from around the world that had been translated into English during the early-mid 2000's it also covered the background to children's books in translation, from the classic to the contemporary, and the pleasures and insights they can offer to young readers.

The Guide featured:

  • Foreword by Philip Pullman
  • Over 170 reviews of books available in the UK, including picture books, fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels and dual-language books, reviewed by a team of independent experts
  • Biographies of the authors, illustrators and translators
  • Informative articles by authors, translators, publishers and educators
  • Comprehensive resource guide
  • Articles written on topics that will help to stimulate the debate surrounding the subject of translation.
