The present article is an attempt to study and reveal linguocognitive properties of metamorphosis in line with its translation. The data analysis of this research is carried out on the fairy tale “At the Back of the North Wind” by Scottish fairy tale writer George MacDonald. Theoretical framework keenly touches upon Local translation strategies suggested by Chesterman and model of metamorphosis by Moskvichova. The article meticulously outlines the stylistic and cognitive nature of metamorphosis through which conversion of the transformative into the transformed along with compelling explication of the reasons for the change- its cause- and verb markers/predicates sum up the concept of conversion and transformation.
