Japanese Fairy Tales - by Yei Theodora Ozaki

[SiteAdmin]

Author: Yei Theodora Ozaki / Year: 1870- 1932 / Genre: Children

This collection of Japanese fairy tales is the outcome of a suggestion made to me indirectly through a friend by Mr. Andrew Lang.
 They have been translated from the modern version written by Sadanami Sanjin. These stories are not literal translations, and
 though the Japanese story and all quaint Japanese expressions have been faithfully preserved, they have been told more with
 the view to interest young readers of the West than the technical student of folk-lore.
