Long-Awaited Retranslation of Emily of New Moon: Q&A with Finnish Translator Kaisa Ranta

In August 2023, Art House published a long-awaited Finnish retranslation of Emily of New Moon. For almost a hundred years, fans have loved the original Finnish translation by I.K. Inha from 1928 and its revised and abridged version from 1961. The translator of the new edition, Kaisa Ranta, was delighted to have the chance to retranslate her childhood favourite, which is now finally available in a complete version that, like Montgomery’s original, is targeted at a crossover audience of both youth and adults.
