Sophie's Misfortunes is a French children's classic. Sophie is four and is always disobeying her mother. With terrible results. Especially for animals.
This was an awful translation. Especially awful were the incorrect pronouns. I only know a little French, but I think I could have done better than this.
Nevertheless, it's the first time I've found an English translation. I suppose it's better than nothing.
Of course it's on the 1001 Children's Book list. ...more
