_More Folk Tales from j.a.pan_

BY YOs.h.i.+KO UCHIDA

Wisdom and humor abound in the fourteen folk tales of this second collection by the author of _The Dancing Kettle_. Once more Miss Uchida has dipped into the wealth of j.a.panese folklore to retell delightful stories that American children have seldom heard.

"The Wrestling Match of the Two Buddhas," "The Man Who Bought a Dream,"

"The Golden Axe," and others are a fascinating combination of the strange and the familiar. A different land, a different people, a different kind of magic all come to life in these colorful, imaginative tales. And yet running through them are such universal folk themes as the inevitable downfall of the greedy and the foolish. In all of these adventures there is a keen sense of the j.a.panese countryside with its mountains and sea, rice fields, deep green forests, and delicate gardens.

Retold with freshness and simplicity, these ancient tales are not only fun to read but also welcome new material for storytelling.
