First and foremost, I have to thank a good friend of mine, - a comic aficionado-, who is kind enough to lend this book to me. Although I met Scrooge McDuck since I was a little girl and became a fan instantly, I barely read the English version, let alone knowing Don Rosa. Had I read the English version, I would have become an avid reader of Don Rosa's version earlier.

After reading the book, my long forgotten question about why Scrooge did not have a wife was finally answered perfectly. It is bittersweet to know that even a grumpy old Scrooge could fall in love with Goldie, deep. Now, all that left for me is, if only he opened the letter from Goldie :(
Somehow, it is probably the one that made the particular story beautiful; the lost love, that is.
Scrooge Mcduck would bear this memory in his mind forever.
"Memories can be deep and profound, but the mind can flash through them at light speed - especially if they are memories frequently visited."

Last, as we enjoy adventuring with stories from the book, may we always remember what this 10-year-old Scrooge Mcduck when he got his first dime, "Life is filled with tough jobs, and there will always be sharpies to cheat me! Well, I will be tougher than the toughies, and sharper than the sharpies, and I'll make my money square!"

Thank you, Scrooge McDuck, rest well in peace.

And Add on to the old "classic" story of Scrooge's life, it's a perfect companion, really

Gillar du Don Rosa kommer du att gilla denna bok. Den är, till skillnad mot mycket annat inom Kalle Anka, en mycket sammanhållen historia. Det finns till och med lite djup i karaktärerna, inte pjåkigt när man snackar om Kalle Anka!

Τα χαμένα επεισόδια έρχονται να καλύψουν μερικά κενά από τον βίο και την πολιτεία του διασημότερου παλιού στον κόσμο...

Το μοτίβο και η γραφή είναι στο ίδιο μήκος με τον Βίο και Πολιτεία.... Ένα πραγματικό διαμαντάκι

It's a great collection of stories. However! Compared to the original Life and Times, this (understandably) lacks the arch the original had. Rosa wrote these stories only after the original (even when they were planned from the beginning) as they don't really ADD anything to Scrooge's tale.

But I'm very happy Rosa spent his time putting these on paper.
