Japanese Fairy Tales: Illustrated Edition. Yei Theodora Ozaki

First published in 1908, this is a book of &quot;beautiful legends and fairy tales of Japan&quot; that were collected, translated and retold by the author, Yei Theodora Ozaki, who states: &quot;…in telling them I have also found that they were still unknown to the vast majority, and this has encouraged me to write them for the children of the West.&quot; In part, the project was the result of a suggestion made by her friend Andrew Lang, another collector of fairy stories, who printed his stories in the many Colored Fairy Books.<br><br>This edition includes all 63 original illustrations from printed book format.
