A story, a story
Let it come, let it go.
A story, a story
From long, long ago.
A story, a story
Lets hear one today.
A story, a story
From a land far, far Away!
What mystery, what charm stories hold for childhood! With quickened breath, shining eyes and parted lips, the little voyager sets foot on the wonderful shore of Story Land.
Pulsating with interest, he greets the heroes of that land, follows his adventures, and shares his struggles; learns the universal language of sympathy by sharing in the hopes and fears, the toil and the laughter of that other one, his brother now through the magic bonds of the story.
Herein are 12 Japanese Fairy Tales collected and retold by Teresa Peirce Williston. The stories in this volume are:
The First Rabbits
Lord Bag Of Rice
Peach Darling
The Old Man With A Wart
The Eighty-One Brothers
The Bamboo-Cutter's Daughter -- The Bamboo Princess
The Great Stone Bowl
The Branch Of The Jewel Tree
The Fire Robe
The Shell In The Swallows' Nest
The Dragon Jewel
The Smoke Of Fuji Yama
In this book the author has endeavoured, both through the illustrations and the "atmosphere" of the stories themselves, to bring the wee brothers and sisters from overseas and lay them, as vividly as possible, before readers. It was her hope that the children who read these tales will see the beauty and charm of this life through the glamour of romance and the haze of tradition with which generations of story-loving Japanese have enwrapped it.

A Foreword
A STORY from the Land of Far Away! What mystery, what charm it holds for childhood! With quickened breath, with parted lips and shining eyes, the little voyager sets foot on the wonderful shore of Story Land.
Pulsating with interest, he greets the hero of that land, follows his adventures, and shares his struggles; learns the universal language of sympathy by sharing in the hopes and fears, the toil and the laughter of that other one, his brother now through the magic bonds of the story.
I have endeavored in this book, both through the illustrations and the "atmosphere" of the stories themselves, to bring the wee brothers from overseas as vividly as possible before the little folk of America. I hope the children who read these tales will see the beauty and charm of this life through the glamour of romance and the haze of tradition with which generations of story-loving Japanese have enwrapped it.
In Collecting these stories I am greatly indebted to Mr. Katayama of Tokyo, and in planning the art work am under obligations to Miss Bertha Philpott of the Art Institute of Chicago for many helpful suggestions. Mr. Sanchi Ogawa, who illustrated the first series of Japanese Fairy Tales, has furnished the illustrations for this volume with the exception of the frontispiece and the cover design, which are by Mr. Kyohei Inukai.

The First Rabbits
THE children in the sky were all crying. "Boo-hoo," said one. "Boo-hoo," said another. "Boo-hoo," said the rest.
"Children, children, what is the matter?" asked the fairy mother of the sky.
"We've nothing to play," replied one. "There's nothing to do," said another. "We can't play for there's nothing to do," said the rest.
"Why don't you twinkle the stars?" asked the fairy mother of the sky.
"The star lights are all put out," sobbed one. "The sun is shining and the star lights are out," sobbed another. "We can't twinkle the stars when the sun is shining and the star lights are out," sobbed the rest.
"Why don't you beat the thunder drums?" asked the fairy mother of the sky.
"The thunder drums are all broken," sighed one. "We've beaten all the thunder out of them," sighed another. "We can't beat the thunder drums for the thunder is all beaten out of them," sighed the rest.
"Why don't you shake the snow out of the snow sieves?" asked the fairy mother of the sky.
