Alice in Wonderland in English and Swedish
A white rabbit with a pocket watch hurries past a bored girl, and Alice follows him down the hole. In Wonderland she meets the Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts. Lewis Carroll's 1865 classic is a story of nonsense, riddles and word play.
The Swedish text is Nino Runeberg's free adaptation (Helsinki, 1921), matched to Carroll's English sentence by sentence. It retells the story freely, so it does not always follow the English word for word. His words are kept; only the spelling and grammar were brought up to today's rules.
