Children’s literature always carries more than a storyline. It brings with it the worldviews, humour, values, and small cultural habits of the society it originates from. When such stories travel into another language, the translator becomes the bridge between two cultural landscapes. Roald Dahl’s Matilda is one of those works that seems simple at first glance, yet hides a vibrant world of invented words, exaggerated characters, and distinctly British cultural notes.
