I particularly like the fact that foreign translations feel so different - the font and type used, the unfamiliar
|
accents and letters, the choice of format for the book (whether large or small, hardback or paperback and
|
so on). Since I'm learning Spanish at the moment, having the Spanish books around can be a good
|
exercise in seeing how the language works on material with which I'm very familiar! And, when I get bored,
|
I can compare the foreign editions with the English one and see how all the rude words translate...

If you're interested in getting hold of one of the novels in translation, I've listed below the countries in
|
which they're available and the names of the publishing houses which carry them. After the Hole is likely
|
to be reprinted in some countries because of the renewed interest the film will generate. The Dandelion
|
Clock is, at the moment, only available in Danish: it's so much longer a book than the other two that the
|
cost of translating it has put most foreign publishers off.

You can also see some of the foreign covers here:
