Title: angry
Review: I am soooo angry that this is the only translation in print. I want to use the story in classes I teach, but these idiots butchered the story. Miyazawa GAVE THE KIDS ITALIAN NAMES FOR A REASON! These so-called translators are too pedantic, too arrogant, or simply too stupid to get that. Sarah Strong wrote an excellent translation, which even includes an excellent readers guide. Granted, it's not really for kids, but the story was not meant only for kids. Come on Professor Strong, get it back in print!
