      Japanese Folktales is Yei Theodora Ozaki's classic collection of twenty-two traditional Japanese stories. The book introduces the reader to the rich world of the Japanese imagination, a world of ghouls, goblins and ogres; sea serpents and sea kings; kindly animals and magic birds; demons and dragons, princes and princesses.
      Japanese Folktales is one of the most complete collections of stories translated to English and introduces the reader to the vast world of Japanese ghouls, goblins, ogres, sea kings, magical birds, dragons, and of course, Momotaro, the Peach Boy.

      Japanese folklore is richly imaginative and the 22 classic stories collected here are some of the most popular ever told. Each story transports the reader to a different realm of magical kingdoms, mysterious seas, and mythical lands including:
      • The story of goldfish dancers and carp musicians who entertain a brave warrior
      • The tale of a lonely girl whose life is changed by a shining disc left by her mother
      • The explanation of how the jellyfish lost its bones
      • And the adventures of a boy born from a peach that washes up on a riverbank that every Japanese child knows by heart.
      These well-loved folk tales are sure to delight readers young and old while introducing them to Japan''s vivid fantasy tradition.
