Betsy-Tacy
in Japanese
The Betsy-Tacy
series was published in Japan but the books are not published there
anymore.
There are a few copies of the Japanese Betsy-Tacy books at the Kerlan
Collection at the University of Minnesota.
The cover
illustrations pictured Betsy in the 1950s with a wide, flouncy skirt.
The National Library of Japan still holds several Lovelace's books. It
seems as if Lovelace's books are not popular now in
Japan, yet they were
well read in 50s and 60s.
