That's one of the things I love about the Brit versions. Those pictures tend 
to give away what happens in the chapter... much like the cover which tends 
to show the end of the book.

I think Mary Grandpre's art is wonderful, I just don't want the chapter/book 
ruined for me.

I certainly didn't read it as that. I read it as the way in which Americans 
act. I mean, look at the man "elected" president. During the campaign trail 
he had difficulty stringing together sentences. He called the people of 
Greece "Grecians." And yet, you really can't get to the Oval Office without 
some sort of brain power.

Now, some people might have trouble with the British words. And maybe they 
should be able to get a book that they don't have to be confused by. But I 
would like to have the original version available to me without having to 
trek hundreds of miles north to buy a copy.
