This volume addresses a regional gap in the treatment of children's literature in translation, expands our understanding of the topic of violence in children's literature, and critically engages with the traditional othering of the Balkans in the imagination (and politics) of the Global North. ---Professor Brian James Baer, Kent State University, USA
