In "Seas and Lands", Sir Edwin Arnold gave us the impression that Japan was a real fairyland in the Far East. And he was correct. Herein you will find over 200 magical myths, legends, tales and fables for children of Japanese deities from the time before the world was brought into being.
F. Hadland Davis has categorised these stories, tales and fables into 31 chapters which are accompanied by 32 glorious full-page colour plates by Evelyn Paul, quite unlike any others we have seen in children’s illustrated books.
Herein are stories like:
Ama-Terasu And Susa-No-O,
The Divine Messengers,
Yorimasa,
The Goblin Of Oyeyama,
The Triumph Of Momotaro,
"My Lord Bag Of Rice",
The Coming Of The Lady Kaguya,
The Legend Of The Golden Lotus,
How Tokutaro Was Deluded By Foxes,
The Significance Of Jizō,
The Treasure Ship,
Sentaro's Visit To The Land Of Perpetual Youth,
A Woman And The Bell Of Miidera,
The Snow-Bride and, oh, so many more exquisite tales for children.
Ama-terasu is the central figure in Japanese mythology, for it is from the Sun Goddess that the Mikados are descended, and it is here where this volume starts. Early heroes and warriors are always regarded as minor divinities, and the very nature of Shintōism, associated with ancestor worship, has enriched those of Japan with many a fascinating legend.
