An odd but engaging collection of early 20th century (1903) fairy tales collected from Japan. Reminded me of my youth, reading Grimm's tales. I can't say that many of these made sense in the way of fairy tales, but sometimes I think that is the point. I can tell you that I saw vestiges of classic tales such as Cinderella in some of the stories, thereby confirming my belief that fairy tales transcend cultures. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
