Winter in Japan. A time to gather and delight in the ancient tales of mountain spirits and restless ghosts; to wash away the old year and usher in the new. From wondrous creation myths to stories of eerie fox-fires, frost-bitten legends of the deep north to tales of foolhardy fishermen off the southern coast, join Erica Hesketh and Laura Sampson on a journey through deep drifts of Japanese heritage and culture.

'These sumptuous folk tales are full of wit, wisdom and - life energy. . . They will make you shiver, ponder, and belly laugh. . . Essential bedtime reading.' Alexandra Corrin-Tachibana
