This was listed as the Hodder & Stoughton original 1912 edition, so I replaced the Puffin cover with the original from abebooks and removed the Arabic translators. The Puffin cover edition is there as well.
This sort of thing happens when an edition in another language (in this case, Persian) is merged into the default :(

This is the default edition. It says it's English, but the header info shows it's an Arabic translation. Maybe the most read version is in Arabic, and if that's the case, it should show as all Arabic I guess and the language shouldn't be English.
