Terrific idea! I need to do more reading in German and Chinese, so I must look up some
more kids' stuff! I've read 'Anne of Green Gables' in Chinese so far and I have 3 volumes of 'Paddington Bear' in German. I should get cracking! Thanks so much for the reminder, Gemuse! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

What is interesting about this link is that it actually lists original books in French and German based on the Famous Five series ("continuation" books), rather than lists of translations of the Famous Five series. That means that the books do not have English versions, so they couldn't be used as parallel texts. But the reviewer does seem to prefer the Volier French series to the original, because they are faster paced and the characters travel internationally. They have been criticised for being quite different from the spirit of the originals. But since I have never read any of the originals, I am very tempted to buy a few of these for the Super Challenge. 1 person has voted this message useful |
