Between the 2012 WordCount Blogathon and a random chain of thoughts fizzing around in my head, I’ve decided to see if I can blog an A – Z of children’s literature in translation through the month of May.
At the moment I’ve managed to line up potential subjects for nearly every letter of the alphabet, but I’m a bit stuck on W and Z! If anybody has any suggestions, I’d be more than happy to hear them…
Edit: Oops, I mean X, not Z…
I don’t quite know where I’ll be going with this at the moment, or where it might lead, but I think it’ll be fun, and it’ll certainly be a challenge!


Are you looking for children's book titles, book characters or something different? I shall put my thinking cap on for W and Z!

Thanks Jen! I've mainly been thinking of authors and book titles, but main characters like Asterix and Babar encapsulate a whole series so they work too. I've also realised that I meant X, not Z – perils of posting when tired. Oops!

W – Where's Wally, Winnie the Witch, Watership Down…X – I'm totally stumped, even a brief google didn't bring anything of use up

I've got a cheat in mind for X if inspiration doesn't strike before then…
