One of the most prominent Bulgarian translators of classical literary works from Scandinavian languages, Prof. Dr. Vera Gancheva, has passed away. Her impressive legacy includes translations into Bulgarian of literary classics such the children's favourite Pippi Longstocking (first translation of Astrid Lindgren from the original into Bulgarian, 1968), as well as works by authors such as August Strindberg, Knut Hamsun, Arthur Lundkvist, Rolf Jacobsen and others.

For her translation of Pippi Longstocking, Vera Gancheva received the International Award for Translation in the Name of Hans Christian Andersen.

Vera Gancheva was the chairwoman of a jury awarding prizes for translation from Bulgarian into Swedish and from Swedish into Bulgarian from a fund donated by the Swedish writer Arthur Lundkvist and his wife, poetess Maria Wine.
