Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the only translations of Ludwig Bemelmans’s Madeline (1939) into Polish, which are presented against the background of the writer’s biography and other works. Translations by Zofia Kierszys (1998) and Małgorzata Pietrzyk (2015) allow the Polish reader to become acquainted with the work of the English‑language author of children’s literature. The author of the paper proves how different strategies chosen by the two translators can affect the reception of the picture book which appeared in Poland almost sixty years after the American premiere. By juxtaposing the original work and the Polish translations, the author also shows the evolution of translation norms and trends on a concrete example.
