Japanese Fairy Tales & Folk Stories
Old Book Collection
30 Collectible, Rare, Vintage, Antique Books on CD
This CD contains a collection of 30 rare, antique books of Japanese Fairy Tales and Folk Stories. These stories are popular and well-known to Japanese children and in Japanese folklore but less well-known in western countries. 
 
The 30 books on this unique CD were published during the 19th and early 20th century in response to a growing interest in Japan and everything Japanese, and in Japanese culture as a result of the country opening itself up to the western world for the first time in many centuries.
 
All of the books are beautifully illustrated by some of the finest Japanese and British illustrators.
 
 

These are the titles of the books on the CD which have all been translated into English.
