Warriors of Old Japan, and Other Stories by Yei Theodora Ozaki
The kind reception given to “The Japanese Fairy Book” has encouraged me to venture on a second volume of stories from Japan. I have invented none of these stories. They are taken from many different sources, and in clothing them with an English dress my work has been that of adapter rather than translator.

This defect the professional story-teller remedies by colouring his story as he tells it.
