First released in 1953, this revised and reset edition commemorates the 50th anniversary with a brand new preface and dozens of illustrations published in color for the first time.
Readers young and old will discover the joy of Japanese folklore with this delightful collection of children's stories that have been handed down from generation to generation. The toothpick warriors and long-nosed goblins tickle the imagination; bobtail monkeys and magic tea kettles will charm parents, children, and grandchildren for years to come.
Classic tales like 'Why the Jellyfish Has No Bones' and 'The Rabbit Who Crossed The Sea' pay tribute to the traditional Japanese virtues of hard work and good humor, humility, and kindness. This international classic will make a wonderful addition to a child's library.
