I'll say it's a Planet of Adventure

From this heartfelt page:

Should a literary masterpiece published in America surrender both its title and content decades later at the whim of contemporary British gutter slang? I cannot imagine it. Surely the least of Jack Vance's work will long endure past the demise of off-color terms in any local dialect, even that of Her Majesty... One might very well declare that I strongly overreact to this work having been retitled as The Wannek.

Fools! The "w" is clearly pronounced "v".

Do you know that for certain, or are you extrapolating from the lovely Alpine mountain of almost the same name?





A schoolfriend once sent me a postard from there. I treasure it.
