Hi All, Thought you might be interested in a little item in this weeks "Newsweek" magazine. Their is a short story about the fact that they have stopped "translating" Harry Potter for the USA copies. I guess they still change "colour" to "color" but not much else! According to an editor at Scholastic "Readers have become more accustomed to the world." <VBG>. I do forget that these books are written for kids but I read books from the UK when I was a girl and I could figure out what was going on. That's part of the fun!
Speaking of books for young adults, I always loved the Gone Away Lake series by Elizabeth Enright. A Philosopher's Stone plays a part in one of the books and it didn't have to be changed to a Sorcerer's Stone <G>. Jane in Vermont, USA where it has been pouring rain all day - the Monsoon, just like Sulochona <G>.
