The edition I have is the 1939 hardback (with color stills from the movie) foolishly handed down from my mother when I was a eight (I ruined the spine). The text mentions that the character is named for her paternal grandmother. Not a specific surname reference, but it would certainly make sense.As for Pansy, I wondered before what the logic was behind that choice. The colors? Cold-hardiness? General adaptability? Editors, those cold-hearted scumbag types, how I love them.
