Good to know that Maureen, thanks for sharing the link! Who is Vladimir Il’ic Lenin ? I've never even heard of him!

[Francis]

Lenin was the founder of the Russian Communist State and his writings in the first
part of the 20th century were translated into many languages so that they could be
read by the Communists accross the world. I wouldn't think that many translations
have appeared in the new Millenium!

I was wondering the same thing Darrell and thank you Francis!!!

[Darrell71]

Yup thanks for the info I always like to increase my knowledge about authors!

[Francis]

Enid is obviously the most translated children's author - especially if you consider
that the fairy tale books by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson were
collections of folk tales.

[Darrell71]

Tell me again, in how many languages were her books translated?

[Maureen1954]

According to the link below about 90 Languages Darrell
