Yes it is great news for sure... I was wrong about which the book is coming in. RS blog said:

Interesting to hear, I have only seen the Spanish version so far. I wonder how they will translate the names? I was reading about how Tolkien made sure Baggains-Sacksville were always translated as "bag" and "sack" in whatever langauge. I hope they try to do the same with Stanek's books. Like the Alder is a type of tree. The name is derived from ancient German language. There are red, green, grey, hazel and black alder trees. It is a very complex tree because it is like an evergreen in some ways and in other ways like a birch.

It is not yet published. It is in translation, as far as I know. Huntress, against translations of names, but a note under line could be useful.

Yes, name translations are always tricky.

The first draft of translation is ready, now we must see some editing, but so far, so cool.

I had some concerns whether the book will be published, but translation is proof that the publisher is serious. I expectec no later than in autumn in my country - a wonderful opportunity for Bulgarian fans.

This is excellent news...ditto with what dragonlord said about Robert Stanek's books deserving to be more widely read. I hope many new fans will come of it.

I hope so, too. When the book is published, I'll celebrate.
