That would be fine! You can upload the scan to your user profile and then we can grab it from there.

I didn't add the ASIN because that is only meant for Kindle editions. The cover photo on Amazon turned out to be quite nice though, so I added that.
Does your book mention an original publication date? The oldest copy in the German National Library dates from 1938, so I put that as original pub date for now.
Swedish edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Is yours the 1970 edition? The Swedish National Library only gives this ISBN for the 1980 "new edition".

Oh dear, you must have uploaded this one while I was still typing. No I think the (1970) has something to do with the publisher. I have the 1980 one, sorry for the confusion. This is my first time doing this. Sorry

Sadly, its lists nothing else.

The book I'd like to add is a Swedish translation to a German book. I do not know if it ever was translated to English as well. I do know that, at least in sweden, the book has been long since out of print. Since I have the Swedish translation I do not know for certain that I have the german ISBN numbers right. Amazon carries at least one version though so I hope the information from there is accurate. I hope this is alright. Tell me if/when I have forgotten anything.
First off, the German version. (but not the first print, I could not find that version)

Blurb (written by me, feel free to correct/add/subtract/translate): Perdita is born to a German mother who fell madly in love with an Englishman, who unfortunately died in the first world war a year after Perditas birth. A year later, her mother dies of grief and the two year old Perdita is send to her aunt in germany who becomes like a mother to her. Around Perdita 12th birthday even her aunt dies and she is send back to England to her father's side of the family. Speaking nearly no English and having an odd name, she has problems fitting in with the other girls her age and is tormented by a longing for a home long gone.
