More than twenty of Eilís Dillon's books were
translated into German. The Herder company of Freiburg
published most of her teenage books, many of them translated
by Annemarie Böll, and one (The Island of Horses/Die Insel
der Pferde) translated by Annemarie and Heinrich Böll.
Later, her historical novels were issued by Rainer
Wunderlich Verlag. Recently, the paperback firm dtv
(Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag) has begun to republish her
classic titles for young people. One of these, Im Schatten
des Vesuv (The Sahdow of Vesuvius) has attracted interest as
a valuable educational resource, and the links below lead to
a very attractive class project done in the Elisabeth-von-Thadden-Schule
in Heidelberg, under the direction of Ute Schoppmann.
