JSON supports full Unicode (UTF-8 by default) in strings, but it also
allows (but does not require) the \uNNNN notation.  You can also see
escaped newlines (\n) in the dc:publisher field.

Speaking of the publisher field, there are three things that catch my eye
as needing improvement:

1. dc:publisher should be "Seuil" and not include publication place and
year  "Paris\n : Seuil\n, 1986",
2. the author's name is not in natural order "Palom\u00e9ra, Marie-France
de"
3. the title should be  "Princesse Finemouche" not "Princesse Finemouche /
Babette Cole #59; [trad. par] Marie-France de Palom\u00e9ra",

It also seems strange that the author Babette Cole is not included anywhere
and that the translator is listed as the author.

I'm not a BibJSON expert, so Mark can provide a more authoritative opinion,
but those seem off to me.
