I do remember her as a strong girl I wanted to be more like... It was fascinating to compare three English translations side-by-side. Like you, I prefer Nunnally's version. Just goes to show, however, that no two translations will necessarily be alike!Lisa Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00069726404084726790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122969726151027865.post-31194937979230829312012-05-13T23:15:22.813+01:002012-05-13T23:15:22.813+01:00I loved Pippi Longstocking when I was young mainly...I loved Pippi Longstocking when I was young mainly because of her odd and fascinating talk. It looked like she has her own world with original and unknown language. I admit shamefully that I have never wondered how translators managed to trancreate all that to different languages. Thank you for this insightful post, I really enjoyed reading it.Aleksandrahttp://linguistblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122969726151027865.post-89988494360941112422012-05-13T21:39:52.980+01:002012-05-13T21:39:52.980+01:00Glad you enjoyed it!Glad you enjoyed it!Rachel Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218353720195613236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122969726151027865.post-68866942700856679472012-05-13T21:39:29.458+01:002012-05-13T21:39:29.458+01:00Lottie and Lisa was the basis for the Parent Trap ...<i>Lottie and Lisa</i> was the basis for the <i>Parent Trap</i> but it was by Erich Kästner (Emil and the Detectives). It's lovely to share favourites with your own children - the boys are sadly resistant to anything I want to read them though. :(Rachel Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218353720195613236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122969726151027865.post-32757386597606477962012-05-13T19:55:18.711+01:002012-05-13T19:55:18.711+01:00Another one of my childhood faves - and I believe ...Another one of my childhood faves - and I believe her 'Lottie and Lisa' was the original 'parent trap' story.

Never would have thought how hard it must be to translate something like Pippi's nonsensical poem. Thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
