I’m delighted to find myself in possession of some of the co-edition copies of the first three Maisie Hitchins stories. It seems that intrepid Maisie has now travelled to France, Poland, Indonesia and America! I love to see the differences between the books, the Amercian edition for example uses a little scroll for the series title “The Mysteries of Maisie Hitchins” and underneath its dust jacket the book is a perfect reproduction of the notebook that Maisie carries everywhere with her – what a lovely detail. Thanks so much to Emily at Stripes Publishing for rounding these up for me!
Hi Marion, I’m delighted to see that you’ve had the Indonesian copy too 🙂 I’m Maisie’s translator for Indonesian edition and I felt so lucky to work on such lovely stories with your beautiful illustrations 🙂

Thanks for getting in touch Nita, it’s so lovely to hear from you! It’s great that you enjoyed translating Holly’s wonderful stories so much – they were a real treat for me to work on too. I look forward to seeing more beautiful Indonesian editions in future 🙂
