Pen name confusion

February 29, 2008 · Posted in Random 

I was wondering this morning why Penguin always print Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) when Isak Dinesen was a pen name. This is not their normal practice with other authors with pen names. For example, they don’t print Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell) or Mary Ann Evans (George Eliot).

I still don’t know why they do it.
