Folklore & Fairytales discussion

Hey!! I have read some really good folklore from Japan which includes Peachboy: A Japanese Folktale and The Boy Who Drew Cats. Also, there is an audio cd version of these tales Rabbit Ears Treasury Far East Folktales: Peachboy, The Boy Who Drew Cats. What Japanese folklore books have you read?

When I was in Japan last year I was very pleased to find this book (in English ;)) with old Japanese ghost stories.

That sounds very interesting Sue-Ann!! I was always a huge fan of ghost stories, so I might pick up this book sometime!

Hello there! I have just marked Marguerite Yourcenar's Oriental Tales as To-Read: It's meant to be an exquisite interpretation of some of the most well known Japanese fairy tales , like the Kitsune fox women.
It's a book I've been meaning to read for years, has anyone here read it already?
I'd love some thoughts on it.

That's great to hear Suna!! I'll have to check out this book too!!!
