These tales and legends have been collected from many sources. Some of them have been selected from the Record of Ancient Matters, which contains the mythology of Japan. Many are told from memory, being relics of childish days, originally heard from the lips of a school fellow or nurse. Certain of them form favorite subjects for representation on the Japanese stage. Illustrated.

4.0 out of 5 stars
very attractive COLOR illustrations...,
This review is from: Green Willow and Other Japanese Fairy Tales (Hardcover)
The previous reviewer must have had a different edition than the one I have on the table in front of me. ASIN/ISBN number is correct for this Amazon listing -- 0517632101. It is illustrated by Warwick Groble, there are 16 full color, very attractive plates. It might be a good idea to contact the bookseller you are thinking of buying from & inquiring as to whether their copy has color plates, but don't pass on this lovely book on account of no color illustrations -- It DOES have them and they are spectacular.

No color illustrations,
This review is from: Green Willow and Other Japanese Fairy Tales (Paperback)
Don't buy this book, Om the front page they say there are color illustrations, but there are only very badly copied black and white illustrations in this book.
