Review Grandfather | Katri reading
This is a low-key but well detailed story of a young girl, Katolie (Katri) living on remote farms in Finland, and later in town, during the First World War. Katri is an intelligent child, who has taught herself to read. The backgrounds are very nicely done, and though it's not always dramatic (in various episodes, she gets chased by boy bullies, a farm burns down, a wolf is seen, and a cow gores a bear) it's quite watchable, and bears repeated viewings. One of my favourite WMT anime. Learn the German for "cow" etc.
Taro Rehrl writes:
Yes, her name is Katri, not Katoli but the Japanese have the usual troubles with the pronounciation of such names. The German dubbers heard the original but didn't know that it's supposed to be 'Katri' so they also used 'Katoli'. The novel was written around 1940.
