	“Nothing but the best is good enough for the young.” Dilemmas of the Translator of Children’s Literature
	No doubt the world without Winnie the Pooh, Pippi Longstocking, Pinocchio or
	Moomin Trolls would be less colourful. Characters from fairy tales imperceptibly
	slip into young readers’ minds and tend to stay there forever. Children accept them
	unconditionally and do not ask questions about their descent. Children’s response
	to books is usually very spontaneous: a love at fi rst sight or an immediate dislike.
	Therefore, it is very important that they receive “the best” – not only beautiful and wise
	books but also book that are skillfully translated. Discussing the role of the translator of
	children’s literature, this article focuses on such issues as child–translator relation and translator–author dichotomy. It points to different attitudes toward the translator’s
	creativity and “visibility.” It examines terminological ambiguities of such notions as
	“adaptation,” “reconstruction,” “rewriting” and “translation.” Finally, it deals with
	translation challenges that arise from didactic, entertaining and aesthetic functions of
	children’s books.
