This review is from: Japanese Fairy World: Stories from the Wonder-lore of Japan (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. It has tales that spark the imagination from days of old. The only problem with the book is the text is a little messy in some spots and the pictures are not very clear. But over all its a great book!

This review is from: Japanese Fairy World Stories from the Wonder-Lore of Japan (Kindle Edition)
The author makes it a point right off the bat that none of these stories are malicious in nature, so the book is perfect for kid bed time reading. The stories are varied, much like Grimm's Fairy Tales, so you can get a different "lesson" from each story. These stories are very different from the ones we know. There's no Snow White, no Sleeping Beauty, but there's a wonderful sense of something like those stories contained in the magic of these ones.Word of warning, though: they are written in a very unique style. Think along the lines of Memoirs of a Geisha, Joy Luck Club, or Mulan (all movie versions). The story might drag on, might sound weird at points, or you might have to explain a bit. If you are going to read it to children, be sure to read it yourself first, so you're prepared!!

This review is from: Japanese Fairy World Stories from the Wonder-Lore of Japan (Kindle Edition)
This is a pretty good book. The writing seems dry and lacks the use of descriptive language.
