A personal favorite book from childhood the stories and illustrations
Nice collection of Japanese folk tales It's interesting how much these tales differ from typical Western folk tales What makes this particular book special is her grasp of English and her way of telling the stories Just as good the 90 or so full color drawings are fabulous Beautiful and colorful I wanted to cut out some of them and hang them up somewhereWhile reading I noticed that one of the tales has recently been made into an amazing Studio Ghibli movie called The Tale of the Princess Kaguya here called The Luminous Princess I think I would have loved to read this book as a kid
