Good Mr. Boar, I have heard of your excellent wisdom.
I am in great trouble, you alone can help me . . .
The Sagacious Monkey seeks the advice of his wise friend, Mr Boar.
A Happy Hunter receives gifts from Ryn Jin, the King of the Sea
that save his life and help him become a great ruler.
Japanese Fairy Tales is a collection of fables from the Japan of long, long ago. Compiled by Yei Theodora Ozaki and first published in 1903, these tales were intended primarily for children, but this collection shines a light on the cultural structure of those times which still has the power and capacity to influence daily life.
In these tales the deities are personified, demons are both feared and respected, while animals can assume warrior shapes and characteristics. Above all, personal valour conquers all.
. . . instead of the queer basket on which he had come
to the Realm of Ryn Gu, a large crocodile was waiting for him . . .
Wild Arancini Classics is delighted to bring you this exciting new edition of Japanese Fairy Tales by Yei Theodora Ozaki.
