Re: Enid Blyton Guiness Book of Records
Lenin was the founder of the Russian Communist State and his writings in the first
part of the 20th century were translated into many languages so that they could be
read by the Communists accross the world. I wouldn't think that many translations
have appeared in the new Millenium!

Re: Enid Blyton Guiness Book of Records
Enid is obviously the most translated children's author - especially if you consider
that the fairy tale books by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson were
collections of folk tales.
