when I first read What Katy Did, aged 6 or 7, I was convinced it was set in England.
That seems entirely reasonable. Any differences could easily be attributed to its being the Old Days. By contrast, I just marked a student dissertation that asserted several times that it was set in Canada. I can only assume the author confused Katy with Anne of Green Gables, but dear me!
