Ah, Everyman's Library was a series by Dent. It's now an imprint of Orion, who in turn were gobbled up by Hachette at some point. So you could also contact Orion and ask them if they plan to reissue the book.

Yes, I am Dutch.

The English translation was called The Gardens of Dorr. It was published in 1975 by Everyman Ltd according to Amazon. Worldcat.org lists the same year, but says the publisher is called Dent.

Amazon’s got two copies for 208 dollar each. If those prices are anywhere near realistic, you might consider getting somebody to re-publish the translation instead.

Hi, are you originally Dutch, like me? Since I found out that Paul biegel’s ‘De tuinen van Dorr’ had been translated into English I have been looking for it all over the place in order to share the story with my English friends. But it is nowhere to be found!!! If you have a clue I would be very happy to get hold of a copy. I miss it!
Greetings from Claudia (who wishes to become 1/10th as good an author as Paul Biegel, the robber with a golden heart!!)
