Hope this will be a inspiration to budding translators. There is much Indian liturature which deserves the attention of English readers. The “Panchatantra”, and “Chanakya” are the famous books which have been translated in many languages but still there are many more.

Thanks for stopping by, Tanita. I’m glad you found some good leads here. Congratulations on the release of “Mare’s War,” by the way! It’s on my list of books to read before the end of Summer : )

These are some great finds. I set out to find literature for YA from this region, and had a really hard time finding anything but picture books and easy readers with a social studies tone. These are great.

It is great to be reminded about the books out there for older readers – thank you, Aline.

Anna, if you’re looking for Thai books to translate, I blogged about one I found at the Bologna Book Fair in 2008, which looked absolutely gorgeous – I just couldn’t read it, unfortunately: scroll down to the end of the post and read the comments… Chalisa was able to tell us about it and it sounds utterly charming.
