Slightly "Back topic"
SelwynI found out that at least two of Jane Yolen's books were translated into Danish (I think one actually is in Swedish, but it came up as Danish):1) Den Rode Drage (a slash through the o, iykwim), Glydendal 1986
2) Ugle Mane (a circle above the a, aiykwim), Carlsen Forlag 1989She has at least 475 books out and about according to OCLC FirstSearch (but a few are translations of her books from English :D).I'm wondering if you're still interested :)Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

QuestionI wonder Phyllis what did this mean:
"The bibliophile who has been thrown out of three more public libraries (they have to close too, you know)"I am not sure I understand what you mean.-Selwyn

SelwynHave you ever been so caught up in a book or a paper that the next thing you know the library is closing? I've actually "blanked out" in the pages of a good book.Imagine for a moment: You arrive at your local library at 10:30, pick out a book to look at, then the next thing you know it's 20:30, the lights are being turned off and the head librarian or security guard is gently clasping your shoulder to gain your attention. Trust me, it's an experience. ;)
About being thrown out of three more public libraries: I'm unfortunately well known for escaping into a good book or search. That and I'm known on a first-name basis at three libraries (one sends get well soon cards if the librarians don't see me at the library for a week).Any more questions? I'm more than happy to answer (as long as they're not too personal).Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

Selwyn (and anyone else interested)Anne Mccaffrey has a website (http://www.annemccaffrey.org) that has a list of books she's written (alas, some of them are romances, but that's neither here nor there). You might be able to find out if any of them have been translated into Danish (or whatever language you're most comfortable with) and where to find them.Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)
