"The Story of Translating 'Anne of Green Gables' "
Shueisha,1998
--An examination of research before internet was widespread in the first
half of the 1990s; in order to find the original sources of many quotations
in "Anne of Green Gables" I consulted many quotation dictionaries,
online computer service, English and American literatures on CD-ROMs, the
King James Version Bible on CD-ROM, and I built the digital database of
English poems with a scanner and OCR software.
