Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This essay examines the peculiar history and reception of L.M. Montgomery’s Pat books in Japan, where the sequel was published first and the first volume was long unavailable. Consequently, for nearly twenty years, Japanese readers could not fully appreciate the theme of loss and new life in the Pat books.
