This chapter reveals that the importation, translation, marketing, and reception of English Canadian children’s literature in Germany have been governed by two major principles: first, up to the 19802s, pre-existing hetero-images not only influenced but also determined the transfer; second, translation strategies have since undergone radical changes, departing from image-bound preferences and moving toward an ignorance of, or even obliteration of, distinctive cultural traces.
