These harmless stories tickled the imagination of Japanese children during untold generations, may amuse the big and little folks. The thirty-four stories included within this volume do not illustrate the bloody, revengeful or licentious elements, with which Japanese popular, and juvenile literature is saturated. These have been carefully avoided.
