Violet Evergarden Volume 1 (ヴァイオレット・エヴァーガーデン 上巻) was published on 25 December 2015. Which means today is the 10th anniversary of the light novel's publication. To commemorate this milestone, Kyoto Animation published a compendium of the light novels (4 volumes) with two short stories and two new chapters. Titled Violet Evergarden The Anniversary -Flower-, I got my copy yesterday.
I may write a separate post about the book itself, but right now, the focus is on translating the two new chapters:
Laura and the Auto-Memories Doll: a full-blown, lengthy chapter placed right at the start of the book
Flowers and the Auto-Memories Doll: a very short epilogue-style chapter, right at the end of the book
