Foreign editions...

Lucy Gordon kindly sent me this cover from the Czech Republic. As you can see I am Barbara Hannayova in Czech -- which is something we all smile at. It becomes especially smile worthy for Elizabeth Rolls and Shirley Jump whose surnames become Rollsova and Jumpova.

Is that true or are you doing an early April Fools?? Most amusing. I like your Czech name!!

It's absolutely true. I swear.:)

I'll vouch for the truth of it, too, 2paw -- my Czech editions come out as Anne Graceiova and I've seen a Kelly Hunterova and a Marion Lennoxova and I've also seen and handled a genuine Elizabeth Rollsova.

Oh yeah. It's true. Living in the country I collect my post from the local general store. I always open my foreign editions on the spot and there was complete uproar the morning I opened an "Elizabeth Rollsova". I'd been waiting for that moment for years:)

Ah, from the horse's mouth. Thanks Elizabeth.
