About
"KAWAII Woolf -A Charming Woman; Virginia Woolf-" is a fanzine about Woolf in Japanese language. This book introduces Woolf and her works to Japanese people with reviews, illustrations, photographs and comics.

From the Editor
Virginia Woolf may be one of the world famous writers, but ordinary readers in Japan don’t know about her very much. This inspired me. I wanted my friends to know about Woolf much more. It was the beginning for this unique fanzine.I find Woolf such a charming woman and her works so attractive. Kawaii in the title means “charming” or “cute” in English. By the word kawaii I want to suggest that Woolf’s works are indeed “charming” and “cute,” and at the same time, fantastic and beautiful as well.
