0726 Pembe çakal

Title: Pembe çakal English Title: Pink Coyote Canon: unknown Language: Turkish Country: Turkey Format: Paperback Year: 1976 Publisher: Kervan Cover Artist: unknown

Three foreign editions in a row and two in a row that can’t seem to get MacDonald’s name right. This Turkish cover is officially an unknown book but given the translated title and the … um … animal? … I’ll wager half a bottle of Plymouth gin that this is The Quick Red Fox.

Seriously, what is that creature? It has the face of a cat but the mouth is some vicious little rodent, maybe a weasel. The paws look like a dog and the squat posture reminds me of a reptile. There are wild coyotes that live in my area and not one of them looks anything like this one, pink or otherwise.
