Keith Mansfield

While Johnny might not be at the age to split his restaurant bills, he’s easily old enough to wander into a bookshop in The Netherlands and read about his adventures in another language. The beautiful Dutch edition of the first book, Johnny Mackintosh en de supersnelle augurk, dropped through my letterbox a couple of days ago. Future quiz aficionados might be interested to read that it was officially published by Prometheus on 24 June so was actually the first Johnny Mackintosh title to come out anywhere in the world.

There are more pictures over on JohnnyMackintosh.com where, if you’re not linguistically challenged, you can read the Dutch back cover copy.
