Alert: La casa con l'orologio nelle pareti
A few short years after The House with a Clock in its Walls (1973) was first released in the US, an Italian publishing house called Biblioteca Universale Rizzoli released La pendola magica: un giallo nella casa stregata dai maghi (c.1975). A scan of the cover reveals that Italians were treated to the same exterior artwork by Edward Gorey we Americans got to see, except it was cropped and everything appears to be yellow-green in color, replacing the rich violet that would have made Mrs. Zimmermann proud.

If you’ve slummed around Bellairsia over the past ten years then you’ve probably noticed that we tend to go in for the historic and literary trivia that John tossed into his books. There’s a lot of that sort of thing, some skimming the top (such as the names of some prominent characters) and more within the text that you may miss on initial readings. While we’ve been pretty good at tracking down some of these odds and ends, we thought we’d give others the chance to work their detective skills, too.
