Tales and Essays from Old Japan is a spirited and engaging entry into the world of pre-industrial Japan, a world that was already fast disappearing when author Lafcadio Hearn first arrived there in 1890.

Despite being long out of print, Tales and Essays from Old Japan is sure to delight any reader with an interest in traditional Japanese stories.…mehr
