An update on those translated titles

Julie Dalyrimple emailed me with a comment on the German titles.  She says:

"Alle vogel sind schon tot" I think is a play on a line from a spring song I learned in German class in high school, "Alle Vogel sind schon da" (All the birds are already there). I hope the book turns out as  funny in German as it is in English.

In other words, the German title is a pun!  Okay, I can get that.  I suspect Falscher Vogel fängt den Tod will turn out to be another pun.

And in answer to Liz Clifford--yes, I collect the foreign editions of my books.  In fact, I have a shelf in one corner of my office where I keep all the editions I can get my paws on--hardback, paperback, large type, foreign, and audio.  The photo at the top of the blog shows what it looks like at the moment--including the armed action figures I keep around to guard it.
