Old Japanese Tales

In Japan, there is a centuries-old bright tradition of passing fairy tales from one generation to the next. These tales are in no way inferior to collections “in the style of the Brothers Grimm,” but they come from a completely different culture.

Follow the history of a story that was told aloud for many years and even centuries before it finally found its way into this audiobook—and into your hands as well. If you’re new to Japanese fairy tales and you only know the stories about princesses living in castles and princes fighting dragons, then you’re in for something new, unusual, and truly amazing.
