PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Catherine Butler is Reader in English Literature at Cardiff University. Her academic books include Four British Fantasists (2006), Reading History in Children’s Books (2012) and Literary Studies Deconstructed (2018). She has also edited numerous academic collections, and is Editor-in-Chief of the journal, Children’s Literature in Education.
This is a highly original and significant work, bringing a new angle to children's literature studies and engaging an impressively large corpus. This is certain to be internationally leading as a touchstone for anyone interested in children's literature, transnationalism and Japanese studies. * Madhu Krishnan, Professor of African, World and Comparative Literatures, Department of English, University of Bristol, UK * Absolutely delighted by Catherine Butler's wonderful book on British children's literature in Japan! Depth, scholarship and comprehensiveness delivered with a lightness and grace that makes for a deceptively easy read, plus some fascinating insider insights. A first class addition to the scholarly canon, but it definitely deserves a release at a more accessible price for the many Studio Ghibli fans who would find it fascinating. I speak to about 800 passionate Ghibli fans in venues all over the UK every month and I'm adding this book to the recommended reading list I share with them, in the hope that at least some will be able to access it via college or public libraries. * Helen McCarthy, author of Hayao Miyazaki: Master of Japanese Animation (1999) *
