<div><font size="4">Hello Michael,</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="4">I must say it is a heartfelt joy to hear what you are doing --
publishing Alice in languages around the world! Since reading my first Alice
(with beautiful pictures!) as a little girl, I am an addict and have collected
several german translations and of course read the original (and everything
else by Carrol that I could get hold of :-)). Now if I _ever_ find time to
do it, I would _love_ to translate Alice into my Low German
(Holstein-Elbmarsch-Mixture). I am a rather experienced translator of
lyrics, you may check here <a href="http://www.plattpartu.de/wat/kategorie_lit.htm" target="_blank">http://www.plattpartu.de/wat/kategorie_lit.htm</a>.
But I am so busy just now that I hardly manage to follow all LL-L-Mails
:-| If I find time I will contact you again. And anyway my veryvery best
wishes are with your project!!</font></div>

Subject: Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland in Lowlands languages<br><br>Good day to all.<br><br>It's been a long time since I
was involved with Lowlands-L, though some of you may remember me.<br><br>I'm back with a proposal which
might or might not find favour with some of you.<br><br>I'm now a small Irish
publisher who has been publishing "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in a
number of languages. (To date: English, Irish, Cornish, Esperanto, with
German, French, Italian, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Swedish, and Lojban(!)
in the works.)<br><br>I wonder... would any of you
be interested in translating it into your Lowlands language? I've spoken with
Sandy Fleming who seems keen to translate Alice into Scots. That's a good
start...<br><br>Would anyone else have an
interest?<br><br>Alice offers many
opportunities for wordplay and puns ("Looking-Glass offers more but is
accordingly much harder to translate) and, well..<br><br>Every language deserves to
have an Alice.<br><br>The length of the text is
about 27,000 words.<br><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" color="#888888"><br>Michael
