CLASSIC STORIES FROM JAPAN (COLLECTORS LIBRARY) (HB)

Twenty-eight entertaining tales from Japanese folklore are featured here, and all come with a magical twist. Monkeys, badgers and other meddlesome creatures abound, as well as fortune tellers, malevolent spirits and mysterious paintings. A man who ardently desires eternal life is taught a lesson, a couple fall in love and find each other across the centuries, and in ‘The Laughing Dumpling’, an elderly woman outwits a demon with a taste for her cooking.
