What is Japanese Tales (The Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library) about?
Two hundred and twenty tales from medieval Japan—tales that welcome us into a fabulous faraway world populated by saints, scoundrels, ghosts, magical healers, and a vast assortment of deities and demons. Stories of miracles, visions of hell, jokes, fables, and legends, these tales reflect the Japanese civilization. They ably balance the lyrical and the dramatic, the ribald and the profound, offering a window into a long-vanished culture.With black-and-white illustrations throughoutPart of the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library
