Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1903, Yei Theodora Ozaki's translation of Sadanami Sanjin's collection of Japanese fairy tales has been the introduction of many a young child into the legends and fables of old Japan across the years. Definitely not a scholarly reference or valuable research tool for folktale researchers, Ozaki unabashedly re-crafted some of the stories, translating loosely and adding in elements of unrelated tales, in order to make them more enjoyable and understandable for Western children. She even gave Urashimataro a happy ending! There is something delightfully romantic about translations from this era, due to the unfamiliarity with Japanese culture at the time. Terms that would not be translated today, like 'oni' and 'samurai', are rendered as 'ogre' and 'knight' and other English equivalents. While unauthentic, this makes the stories more approachable by young children who have a mind for fantasy but haven't yet graduated to Japanese Studies. Many of the stories here are familiar with anyone even slightly interested in Japanese folklore. 'Momotaro, or the Story of the Son of a Peach, 'The Story of Urashima Taro, the Fisher Lad', 'Kintaro the Golden Boy' and 'The Ogre of Rashomon'. Along with these, there are rarer tales that I haven't seen in any other Japanese fairy tale collection. 'The Stones of Five Colors and the Empress Jokwa', 'The Sagacious Monkey and the Boar' and 'How and Old Man Lost his Wren' were all new to me.

Book excerpt: Japanese Fairy Tales by Yei Theodora Ozaki Published in 1903 titled Japanese Fairy Book, the title was changed in the 1908 edition to Japanese Fairy Tales. Theodora Ozaki was the daughter of a wealthy Japanese aristocrat, Baron Ozaki, the first Japanese to study in the West, and his wife, the daughter of an American school teacher. The couple separated after a brief marriage and Theodora lived with her father in Japan. She worked as a secretary and spent much of her free time compiling traditional Japanese stories. Scottish writer Andrew Lang, who was an accomplished writer of children's literature, encouraged her to publish the collection. The twenty-two stories in this volume include one of the best-known Japanese tales, The Tongue-Cut Sparrow, which tells of a vengeful old woman who cruelly cuts out her husband's talking sparrow's tongue.
