Canadian Fairy Tales
PDF
S.B. Gundy; Toronto (1922)

The fairy tale makes universal appeal because it deals with the
elemental in our natures that is the same in every age and in every race.
In the Canadian tales which are gathered from Indian sources, we find the
same types of characters and scenes of adventure that we do in the tales
of the German forests, of Scandinavia, England or France.
The tales in this collection have been gathered in various parts of Canada.
They are not the product of the writer's imagination; they are the common
possession of the "folk." Many of them are still reverently believed by
the Canadian Indians, and all are still told with seriousness around
camp-fires in forests and on plains, upon the sea and by cottage hearths.
The dress in which they now appear may be new, but the skeleton of each
story has been left unchanged.

Indian fairy tales - edited by Joseph Jacobs, illustrated by
J. D. Batten
From the extreme West, we go to the extreme East. From the soft rain
and green turf of Gaeldom, we seek the garish sun and arid soil of
the Hindoo. In the Land of Ire, the belief in fairies, gnomes,
ogres and monsters is all but dead; in the Land of Ind it still
flourishes in all the vigour of animism.

Japanese Fairy Tales
PDF
English

Japanese Fairy Tales compiled by Yei Theodora Ozaki; profusely illustrated
by Japanese artists
This is a collection of 22 charming Japanese fairy tales, originally
published in 1905, selected and translated by Yei Theodora Ozaki. Included
are legends and fairy tales about peasants and kings, god and bad forces, princesses, animals, the sea, and the sky.

"This collection of Japanese fairy tales is the outcome of a suggestion
made to me indirectly through a friend by Mr. Andrew Lang. They have been
translated from the modern version written by Sadanami Sanjin. These
stories are not literal translations, and though the Japanese story and
all quaint Japanese expressions have been faithfully preserved, they have
been told more with the view to interest young readers of the West than
the technical student of folk - lore. Grateful acknowledgment is due to
Mr. Y. Yasuoka, Miss Fusa Okamoto, my brother Nobumori Ozaki,
Dr. Yoshihiro Takaki, and Miss Kameko Yamao, who have helped me with
translations.
The story which I have named "The Story of the Man who did not Wish to Die"
is taken from a little book written a hundred years ago by one Shinsui
Tamenaga. It is named Chosei Furo, or "Longevity." "The Bamboo-cutter
and the Moon-child" is taken from the classic " Taketari Monogatari,"
and is not classed by the Japanese among their fairy tales, though it
really belongs to this class of literature.
The pictures were drawn by Mr. Kakuzo Fujiyama, a Tokio artist.
In telling these stories in English I have followed my fancy in adding
such touches of local color or description as they seemed to need or as
pleased me, and in one or two instances I have gathered in an incident
from another version. At all times, among my friends, both young and old,
English or American, I have always found eager listeners to the beautiful
legends and fairy tales of Japan, and in telling them I have also found
that they were still unknown to the vast majority, and this has encouraged
me to write them for the children of the West." -- From The Preface
