Japanese Fairy Tales (1904) (Paperback)

This is a collection of stories of the Orient that Williston collected for she believed English children needed a touch of the imagination and poetry embodied in these tales, which have been treasured for hundreds of years by the children of Japan. Every effort has been made to bring Japanese life as vividly as possible before the children by means of the illustrations. Mr. Ogawa, the illustrator, is a native of Japan who combines Japanese artistic instinct and classic tradition with a knowledge of American ideas and methods.
