[Sca-cooks] Translation

[Patricia Dunham]

Oh my!! Unfortunately it's rather difficult to find the Findus-corpus in English at the moment.  We first encountered the old-man-and-cat in the Carolrhoda editions when my son was little. When we decided we couldn't live without our own copies at home, those had gone out of print. 

My dear husband found a lot of them in English recently from Swedish publisher Opal, and ... oh, while looking for the Opal name, I discover that apparently there's an English publisher, Hawthorne, releasing them at the moment also. ...  Well, now that I can get at them, because Someone is finally awake, 8-), I discover that my recent trove in English is about half from Opal, and half from Hawthorne! Oh well, I wasn't the one buying them, 8-)  Oetinger of Hamburg is where the German ones are coming from... 

BUT not all of them are available in English, although it appears everything is available in German, Danish, Norwegian as well as Swedish! Since I can probably manage the German, I have German of Morgen, Findus, and the Kochbuch, and the newer Rooster-something one (Hahn im korb?).  Going to have to put the Mechanical Santa on the list too! (hmm! Mechanical Santa/Tomtemaskinen may BE Morgen, Findus... wonderful when the names change THAT much!)
