Very cool to see that The Beggar’s Opera has been published in Norway with its original name! (The Beggar’s Opera, translated, becomes Tiggerdramaet). My publisher, Cappelen Damm, is using the same cover that Penguin used here in Canada. (I don’t have a proper Jpeg, just the thumbnail I pulled off the Internet. Interesting though, that they decided to use a quote from the Chronicle Herald on the front cover.) How exciting!

That’s wonderful news. I never did tell you how much I loved the Beggar’s Opera. I have it marked as one I will read again, and that is rare for me. All the best!!!
Thanks, Mae — I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it so much!
