German translation of Dragon Keeper

[Farseer]

YES !!! I just found the information, that Dragon Keeper will be published in german translation in March 2012 (I was looking for that info for quite a while). The translation of Dragon Haven is designed, without a date.

Bad news – no hardcover, only paperback and the cover is absolutely dreadful !!! The publisher Heyne (Randomhouse) has adapted the covers of the latest german edition of the Farseer Trilogy (mysterious man in a wide red cape, which is blown by the wind. Seems to be a theme, which is very popular for fantasy at the moment. Here in Germany you find it on every second book in miscelleneous variations.) When I think of the wonderful dutch cover, or the UK one, which somehow refers to Alise’s drawings, I think, the german edition is a real shame !!!

But nevertheless I’m glad that they will be translatet. And I certainly will buy them. They are quite o.k. for the beach. I’m double glad, that I own the UK-hardcovers.

I'm not sure if this will be news for you and others, finella, but this is what Robin had to say today re German translations of DK and DH. Possibly it is just confirming what you've already said above, but that she's said it today makes me think it's something different?:

And this last week I’ve signed contracts with Heyne for mass market German editions of Dragon Keeper and Dragon Haven.
