Rosa in Holland

FYI:

Next month's Dutch DONALD DUCK EXTRA will contain Don Rosa's "Quest For
Kalevala". Since that story is 33 pages, and DD Extra only has 32, I (and
others) wondered how it would be published. The answer is: they will print
it in two parts! For the first time in the history of DD Extra, a story is
printed in more than one part. Part 1 is 22 pages, part 2 is the remaining
11 pages.
Translator Piet Zeeman did extra effort to translate the Kalevalan phrases
into clear, understandable Dutch - while still in the meter and spirit of
the original. And he added rhyme, since Dutch poems *have* to rhyme...
The extra "epilog" page will not be used in Holland. Apparently, they won't
use anything that can't be ordered from Egmont very easily...

Rosa's story "The Three Caballeros Ride Again" will be published in the
DONALD DUCK *weekly*. In two parts, in a "Mini Donald Duck Extra". Like the
Cutty Sark story, but bigger pages. This will be published in two months or
so.
