    Our Fav, ourite Childrens Books! To celebrate World Book Day 2018, we asked a few members of the Jolly Team about their favourite children’s books... Fantastic Mr Fox (by Roald Dahl) Jonathan Partington, Sales Director “Easy winner; Fantastic Mr Fox. I know you don’t need to know why as it is so obviously the best kids book ever written, by the best children’s author to have ever lived, illustrated (eventually) by a genius with coloured pens, but in case anyone has had the misfortune to miss the Fantastic Mr Fox... The book has it all, a hero, evil villains, teamwork and adventure. Mr Fox is as his name suggests, fantastic. He is the perfect hero, he has his faults but his daring, charm and skills shine through so he can save the day. Which, as luck would have it is exactly what he does. Having put his whole community at risk by being just a little too good at being a fox, he gets his gang together and leads them all to a famous, fantastic victory, while the baddies are left sitting out in the cold!” Oh, the Places Youll, Go! (by Dr.Seuss) Brad Peterson, Publicity & Promotions Coordinator “You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.” “I didn’t actually discover this book until I was an adult, but it’s easily my favourite. Aside from Dr. Seuss’ lyrical genius - entertaining yet incredibly easy to read - the message is really powerful, even for adults.

  • Translating Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr. Fox to Hindi: a Case Study of Translated Children's Literature Abstract Children's
    Translating Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox to Hindi: A Case Study of Translated Children’s Literature SUSHMITA PAREEK Abstract Children’s Literature has been marginalised because of the reading audience’s age. Translation and Translation Studies suffer from a similar fate due to the concept of authorship and originality that has governed the field of arts and aesthetics. Children’s stories serve not only to enhance the reader’s language skills but also plays a role in the development of empathy and other moral values which has been identified as major didactic role of this genre. Since the reading audience is still learning the language, a word-to-word rendering of the source language will transform the word play, jingles, cultural proverbs and jokes into incomprehensible content. This paper is a working model of translating children’s literature and discusses the problems of translating from English to Hindi. For the present research Roald Dahl’s novel “Fantastic Mr. Fox” was translated from English to Hindi. The author’s official website states that his stories have been translated into 58 languages around the world including Marathi, Tamil and Bengali1. Hindi is one of the most spoken languages in India, but since there was no translation of Roald Dahl’s stories available in Hindi (to the author’s best knowledge), the first objective of research was to translate his novels. The paper addresses the debate between foreignization and domestication, between fidelity towards the author and fidelity towards the readers. It also discusses the quality of anthropomorphism which is special to children’s stories but 1 roalddahl.com: The official website of the author contains information regarding publishing houses, publishing years and translation of the author’s works in different languages.
