Children's Novels

The project of the Macedonian Government for translating "130 volumes of Macedonian Literature" into English has finished and the books have been distributed to major National Libraries throughout the world. I had the pleasure of translating the Anthology of Children's Short Stories, edited by Petre Dimovski. There are three more books for children in the whole Project: two books of children's novels and one anthology of children's poetry. 
Children's Novels 1
Children's Novels 2
The cover was created by Kočo Fidanovski.
