About the author
Yi Ran, originally named Dai Yong'an, was born in Wuhu, Anhui Province, and lived from 1977 to 2015. She was a Chinese writer and translator of children's literature. Disabled in early childhood, she pursued a literary path through self-study and devoted herself over the years to children's literature and poetry. Two of her works are held in the collection, and her representative translations include A Child's Garden of Verses and Tales from Shakespeare. Her work is commonly classified under foreign literature and modern poetry. Through her translations, English children's poetry and classic dramatic stories were presented in a form closer to Chinese young readers, combining literary quality with readability. Public information about the details of her life is limited, yet her existing works and translations show her serious commitment to children's reading and the spread of literature. Yi Ran died of illness in 2015 at the age of thirty-eight.
