Uhm... so... Gladstone changed the european stories to make them fit
with current traditions, to make them more easily accepted by american
readers.

How is this different than european publishers changing american stories
to make them with fit current traditions, to make them more easily
accepted by european readers?

PS. I love your stories Don, and frankly I don't care where Scrooge
lives, as long as it fits the story. :)
