The Catherine books were very popular in all
German speaking countries like: Germany, Austria and
Switzerland. The very first publication by Blanvalet
Verlag, are beautiful designed - every chapter has
it's ornaments - this is also one of the reasons I
cannot understand, why they
chose
to publish only one book, instead of two and why no one
ever realized (and protested!) how much the first two books were
shortened! But to be fair with Blanvalet, as far as I
found out by reading them also in French - the other
five books have all the content of the original French
series, which cannot be said from the English
translations - who did not even translate the the "famous"
seventh book! |
