How many books do you have to sell to be considered successful enough for them to want to publish again? I don't understand it as you are selling in different countries and everyone loves your books, or nearly everyone.

I hope you are home now and back to writing, all this gallivanting doesn't get me something new to read from you LOL.

It was very successful for well over 150 years apparently. I'm guessing now, but I suspect that in the end the need to pay a decent wage for the intensive labour, plus the fact that Malaysians don't have same nostalgic longing for strawberries that the Brits had, killed it off.
