Beschreibung
A story, a story Let it come, let it go. A story, a story From long, long ago. A story, a story Lets hear one today. A story, a story From a land far, far Away! What mystery, what charm stories hold for childhood! With quickened breath, shining eyes and parted lips, the little voyager sets foot on the wonderful shore of Story Land. Pulsating with interest, he greets the heroes of that land, follows his adventures, and shares his struggles; learns the universal language of sympathy by sharing in the hopes and fears, the toil and the laughter of that other one, his brother now through the magic bonds of the story. Herein are 12 Japanese Fairy Tales collected and retold by Teresa Peirce Williston. The stories in this volume are: The First Rabbits Lord Bag Of Rice Peach Darling The Old Man With A Wart The Eighty-One Brothers The Bamboo-Cutter's Daughter -- The Bamboo Princess The Great Stone Bowl The Branch Of The Jewel Tree The Fire Robe The Shell In The Swallows' Nest The Dragon Jewel The Smoke Of Fuji Yama In this book the author has endeavoured, both through the illustrations and the "atmosphere" of the stories themselves, to bring the wee brothers and sisters from overseas and lay them, as vividly as possible, before readers. It was her hope that the children who read these tales will see the beauty and charm of this life through the glamour of romance and the haze of tradition with which generations of story-loving Japanese have enwrapped it. -------------------------------- KEYWORDS/TAGS: Japanese Fairy Tales, Folklore, Fairy Tales, Myths, Legends, fables, Eastern lands, storyteller, china, korea, The First Rabbits, Lord Bag Of Rice, Peach Darling, Old Man, Wart, Eighty-One Brothers, Bamboo-Cutter's Daughter, Bamboo Princess, Great Stone Bowl, India, Branch, Jewel Tree, bejewelled, Fire Robe, burning, bright, Shell In The Swallows' Nest, Dragon Jewel, Smoke, Mount Fuji, Fuji Yama, Nippon, land of the rising sun, cherry blossom, snowflakes, snowballs, heaven, hero, coward, coral, pearl, evil centipede, castle, Akandoji, Storm Spirits, Tajima, Prince, princess, Inaba, Cape Keta, island of Oki, Okinoshima, Nishinoshima, chibu, Ama,
