Beautiful illustrations; lovely tale of medieval Japan,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Girl Who Loved Caterpillars (Hardcover)
This is a marvellous presentation of the traditional Japanese tale ``The lady who loved insects''. It has an admirable protagonist in the title character who is sensible and strong, able to think for herself, who resists the pressures to conform.

The only version of this fascinating Japanese fairy tale available in America,
By Jeannine Hall Gailey (Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Girl Who Loved Caterpillars (Paperback)
This children's book is the only version of this 12th century Japanese fairy tale I could find in English in the US. The bold, courageous heroine of the story is charming and delightful, and the illustrations are beautiful. The original story was supposed to have informed Miyazaki's lovely animated film "Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind," which I also highly recommend.
