Translations
One of the most important aspects of this project is the translation into English. Translators Gregory Herring and Angela Cook have been busy working through the narrative, careful to reproduce the storyline with as much authenticity as possible.

Gregory learned Swedish after moving there in his early 20's. "Whereas in English there are so many exceptions to the rule, Swedish tends to stick to the rules," he said. "It's a very different language and there are not the number of words as in English so i tend to sit with a thesaurus to find alternatives."

"I have to put across how she wrote it. She can speak some English and she has read it and says that she likes it," he said.

Book cover design
The heady task of designing and creating the book covers has been assigned to Richard Legg. Richard has been in the design and print industry for over ten years and works to an extremely high standard. "This project presents some real challenges. The story begins in the 1500's and ends in the 1980's, so I have to be aware that from a design point of view I need to reflect that in the book covers."

"The first four designs have gone really well and I am pleased with the outcome. It will be interesting to see how the project pans out," he said.
