Publisher Comments:

Playful goblins with long noses, magic tea kettles and a delightfully brave hero who just happens to be one inch tall-these are some of the wonderful characters you'll meet in this collection of the 20 best-loved Japanese children's stories. Drawn from folklore and passed down for generations, these classic tales speak of the virtues of hard work, humility, kindness and good humor-"Once upon a time . . ." has never sounded so inviting.

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of one of our all-time best-selling titles. With a new foreword, each story has been lovingly revised and reset, and all the sparkling illustrations appear in color for the very first time. With so many enchanting stories to choose from, young readers will have a delightful time deciding which is their very favorite.

This classic book has had 51 reprints and sold over 175,000 copies since it was first released in 1953. Other titles in our growing series of Asian Children's Favorite Stories include Favorite Children's Stories from China and Tibet, Balinese Children's Favorite Stories and Filipino Children's Favorite Stories.

I found two copies of japanese children's favorite stories forty years ago and used them extensively in my twenty three years as a primary school teacher. The stories are filled with characters and exciting events that capture children's imagination and extend their own writing with encouragement to adopt the philosophy that anything is possible with the use of language in the written form. The illustrations capture
a child's attention to the illustrators response to the written word. In all a series of publications that still capture and delight children forty years later.
