Clare
I have the Penguin edition, which gives the following information:-
This translation first published by Allen Lane 1977
Published in Peregrine Books 1979
Reprinted in Penguin Books 1991
The translator is down as Alan Sheridan (he was Sheridan-Smith earlier, not
later I think).
There was an American Vintage Books edition in 1979 as well I think.
But you're right about the French edition. Sheridan makes some important
slips in his translation.
Hope this is helpful, though I realise it is not complete.
Best wishes
Stuart
