Mr Forster died in 1970 age 91 so his works aren't public domain in the UK, Australia or Canada. This book written in 1908 won't be PD in UK until 2041 or 133 years after publication. Madness. Especially considering he had no children or close relatives being an only child. Some very distant relative probably controls the copyright.
