Enchanting and enigmatic, these fairy tales weave together themes of morality, childhood, and the natural world. From animal allegories like "The Ungrateful Rat" to the poignant "Night Train to the Stars," where a magical journey brings children to the heavens, the stories reflect the brilliance of Kenji Miyazawa, a beloved early twentieth-century writer. With a mix of whimsy and darkness, they capture the essence of Japan on the brink of industrialization. The collection features a foreword by David Mitchell and an introduction by Kaori Nagai.
