A collection of Japanese fairy tales and legends in one book. These are tales of various miracles—kind and scary, funny and sad, sly and instructive, and always striking in their originality and emotional depth. Readers, both young and old, will encounter mischievous wood-goblins (tengu) and water-spirits (kappa), beautiful bird-maidens and snake-women, wily werewolves (foxes and badgers), and the merry and joking Hikoichi.

These captivating tales of antiquity, now part of the world's treasury of fairy tales, have been collected and translated by the renowned Japanese philologist V.N. Markova, whose translations have received awards in the Land of the Rising Sun itself.

The book includes an introductory article and detailed commentary.
