Melody Shaw

Melody Shaw is a freelance German-English translator who never quite got over her own children growing up and no longer needing a bedtime story. She lives in Suffolk, UK, where she blogs sporadically on literature in translation at https://glottalstopuk.wordpress.com/.

When she grows up, she wants to be Granny Hilde (or better still, her own friend Freda, 101 going on 17, who at Granny Hilde’s age would launch herself down a zip line whenever the adults’ backs were turned).
