Lovely to glimpse one of the interior illustrations, courtesy of the author putting a copy up for auction (to aid Afghan women):



(Also amused to see the current "like" count for the second tweet at 69, as is the highlight count for the "Dear fellow, you've missed it by a mile" paragraph in chapter 7. And the bidding is currently at $275.)

(There is also a Thai set of Charm of Magpies that's currently at $215.)

translations of THINK OF ENGLAND

bronze_ribbons: (hooch boots)
In the latest installment of "I am incapable of simplifying my life" (which this week has also involved accidentally poisoning two carnivorous plants and getting sassed by ducks), I tumbled into a rabbit hole yesterday that involved hunting for translations for K.J. Charles's Think of England, which netted the following:

The German title means "Meeting at Midnight" and was livetweeted at length last year by a bloke who came across it in a supermarket bargain bin: https://twitter.com/SerPadfoot/status/1276874929984675841
(I especially like him really liking Fen and Pat: "Ich mag die beiden Damen!" And doing so with some choice snippets from the book.)

The French title means "A Taste of England." Hmmm. Mm-hmm.

I think the Japanese title is the same as the English? What a fine cover.

Any of you know if there's a Spanish edition?
