Summary

"An English Girl in Japan" by Ella M. Hart Bennett is a travel memoir that recounts the author’s journey to Japan alongside her father in the early 1900s. As an eighteen-year-old English girl, she shares her personal encounters and thoughts on the culture and landscape she finds in Japan. The author's adventure begins with her eagerness and planning, and moves to include vivid descriptions of her travels by American liner, New York City's busy streets, and places like Niagara Falls.
