speaking of THINK OF ENGLAND

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

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?
