Book Review

I'm currently reading a collection of essays published this year by the Four Courts Press, Dublin, entitled Translation and Censorship, edited by Trinity College lecturers Cormac O'Cuilleanain, Eileen ni Cuilleanain and David Parris. I will be writing a review of this collection in the coming months for the journal Translation Ireland. I'm also working on putting the finishing touches to an article for the Verne online forum (USA-based) Verniana. The article deals with children's adaptations of literary works, and adaptation as a particular form of translation, using the example of Faraday's Ladybird book version of Verne's 80 Days. It is provisionally entitled Around the world in ... Eighty Minutes? Taking the child reader on an extraordinary journey to the heart of the wonderful world of Jules Verne.
