Batchelder Award The Mildred L. Batchelder Award is unusual in that it is given to a publisher yet it explicitly references a given work, its translator and its author. Its intent is to encourage the translation of children's works into English in order "to eliminate barriers to understanding between people of different cultures, races, nations, and languages." Anthea Bell, translating from German, French and Danish, has been mentioned for more works than any other individual or organisation (including publishers) in the history of the award: References Further reading Opening Speech, Anthea Bell, Shelving Translation Conference, April 2004 Making Asterix funny in English, The Connexion, March 2010 Anthea Bell interview with Writer Unboxed Reviews of Anthea Bell's Stefan Zweig translations at Bookslut "W.G.
