The French translation of CCFS

The covers for Vol 1 and Vol 2 CCFS French version

A reader has contacted me a few days ago about the French translation of CCFS which can be quite disturbing to CT fans. The reason is because the French translation has two subtitles: Vol 1 is subtitled “Candice White l’orpheline” (Candice White the orphan) and Vol 2 is titled “Le prince sur la colline” (the Prince of the Hill). Naturally, Vol 2 automatically refers to Albert.

Another reader certainly thinks that Anohito is Albert, because she sent me a comment today (which I have posted). Therefore, please consider this a longer reply to this reader and other potential readers.

A new Candy (and Terry) blog!

Hi there! Since I found out about Candy Candy the Final Story, I have made four Candy-related posts in my personal blog. However, knowing my penchant of writing something I'm passionate about (ahem, my old wuxia mania, for instance...), today I've decided to make a new blog specifically about Candy and Terry.

I owe the birth this blog to many fans at the CandyTerry.com, particularly webmistress Nila. The "Shakespearean Fool" part of the blog name was originally inspired by Josephine Hymes, for she wrote Candy nicknaming Terry as a "Pompous Fool" in her amazing "The Season of Daffodils" fan-fiction.

Then I found out that there are Shakespearean fools in Shakespeare plays. Hence I think Terry - as a Shakespearean actor - would not mind to be called a "Shakespearean Fool", for he was usually a fool when he was in love...



Email me if you'd like to talk to me privately, otherwise, drop a comment on the posts!

Although the blog focuses more on Candy and Terry, I love most of Candy Candy characters (except for the Lagans and the Marlowes). I particularly love William Albert Ardlay and Alistair Cornwell, so I might celebrate them as well in future posts.
