Folktales form a vital part of every culture around the world. They play their part in preserving the essence of the culture and often contain hidden morals. They give us a glimpse into the life, values and ideals of a country and suddenly the country becomes no stranger to us.

The magical sparrow pays back in his own way for the help and the hurt that he receives. Two frogs, bored and in search of an adventure, set out to explore whole new lands. And Visu the woodsman learns a very valuable lesson, but a little too late.

Beautiful folktales from Japan, wonderfully retold, charmingly illustrated!
