Synopsis

Jane Annie is a comic opera co-written by Arthur Conan Doyle and J. M. Barrie (creator of Peter Pan), a farcical foray into musical theatre. The story unfolds in a girls' boarding school where the title character, Jane Annie, is determined to win the "good conduct prize" by any means – including mischievous hypnosis of her classmates and teachers. Hijinks ensue as studious Jane's spell causes strict governesses to behave absurdly and young ladies to reveal secrets. Doyle and Barrie's wit shines in the playful dialogue and parodies of school morals. Though not a great success on stage, Jane Annie stands as an intriguing curio in Doyle's oeuvre, showcasing his humorous side and willingness to experiment outside of prose. The operetta's plot is light and satirical, sending up Victorian educational norms and the notion of too good behavior, all culminating in a cheeky, whimsical finale.

    This book is the last volume of "Kevin Goes to Japan." Now Yukio, Tomoko, and Yumiko have arrived in London. How could Yumiko talk to Kevin with her honest feeling toward him? 
    1. London After 17 Years  
    2. Yukio's Yukio's Nostalgic Memories  
    3. It Is Like a Moth Flying into the Flame?  
    4. Mature Woman  
    5. Are You a Hetare?  
    6. Jumping Off the Stage in Kiyomizu Temple  
    7. Eternal Love  
    8. The True Identity of Tomoko the Yandere  
    9. Already Being a Domineering Husband?  
    135 JLPT sample questions and word lists come with the story. 
    This reading level is almost N1 level because the story goes towards an end, and I wanted to focus on more plots and how the characters feel. Also, the setting is in the UK, which makes word lists longer. Reading my book does not mean that you will be able to speak Japanese fluently, but I believe you will have improved your reading comprehension skills because I made it progressively more difficult from 1 to 4. 
    The paperback versions will be released soon to check the word lists and practice sample questions for some of you. 
    I hope you keep learning Japanese through the bilingual novel entitled "Parasite Man," a story about Yukio and Tomoko. (Kevin and Yumiko will be there, but not soon.) Five of Yukio's colleagues weave love stories where they want to be loved. Can they find true love? The first volume will be released in August/September 2022. 
    Thank you again, and good luck studying Japanese and reading bilingual novels.

    “Scribire iussit amor” 
    Ovid 
    (“Love compelled me to write”) 
    As with most art, the words in this book were inspired by love. 
    Inspired by women I have loved and one in particular, who I may have loved before. 
    The woman who inspired many of these words is one of the very few truly spiritual people I’ve ever known. In spite of a life often tormented by cruelty and neglect, she retained a rare spirituality and compassion. 
    She enriched my life and for that I will never forget her. 
    These are some of the poems. 
    Written over the past couple of years (something creative came out of the COVID lockdown). Some describe experiences and feelings directly related to my relationships and circumstances. Some figments of my imagination. 
    This book is divided into three sections: 
    Life, Love, and Loss 
    You can start reading from the beginning through to the end, or you can pick a section depending on your mood, or dip in and out at random.

    The Snow Globe is Jenny Pagdin's powerful, sensitive and stark debut collection. Written from first-hand experience, under the glass dome of postpartum psychosis, her poetry depicts a fearsome, glittering inner storm of severe mental illness during new motherhood, moving through illness, through snow flurry and sunshine, to a place of recovery and love.
    Threaded through this book are illuminating and courageous poems that settle and unsettle in equal measure. They cluster moth-like around spiritual and mythical figures, unravelling and remaking themselves with needlework and yarn, threaded along shorelines and under starry night skies. Jenny Pagdin's skilful and attentive use of a variety of forms reflects multiple and jarring realities – with poems dancing their own chaotic, fragmented and strange glinting beauty towards resolution.
