Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. In the late 1800s, Lafcadio Hearn collected and retold strange and wonderful ghostly tales from old Japanese legends. In these stories, a blind poet must perform for members of a dead royal family; an old man gives up his life in exchange for blossoms on a wilting cherry tree; a man trying to comfort a strange woman crying in the dark recoils in horror on seeing her face; and a mandarin duck haunts the hunter who shot her companion. These are timeless and hair-raising stories in which humans and ghostly creatures co-exist. This new edition, with an introduction by Ruskin Bond, will leave readers spellbound. (jacket).

Cream cloth lightly marked; front flyleaf slightly marked; two small ownership stamps; an excellent copy. The lengthy and informative preface states that this story is presented 'not so much because of the incidents involved and the peculiar relation to a phase of Nipponese mentality, as from the fact that it contains all of the machinery of the Nipponese ghost story. [T]he vengeful power of the ghost acts through entirely natural means. The characters involved suffer through their own delusions aroused by conscience'.

First Edition
First Edition. Small Octavo. 240pp. "Kwaidan" translates from the Japanese as weird tales, which perfectly describes these haunting stories. This collection of supernatural tales includes a musician called upon to perform for the dead, man-eating goblins, and insects who uncannily mimic human behavior. A perfect treat for fans of the strange and other worldly. It is a unique collection of haunting Japanese supernatural stories written by a Westerner who adopted Japan as his homeland. Hearn collects seventeen Japanese ghost stories (and a few nonfiction pieces about insects) in this 1904 volume. While most of these stories are translations from older texts, one was the first printed recording of a Japanese farmer's tale, and a few others are Hearn originals. Included are accounts of ghosts who eat freshly deceased corpses, ghosts who look human during the day but stretch their necks and alter their faces at night, ghosts who bewitch their human targets, and many other ghastly figures.

A "collection of stories, vignettes, and prose poems based on Japanese folklore (the title means ghost stories). The style is deft, the stories designed to be savored for their poignancy and calm fatalism." - Barron, ed., Fantasy and Horror (1999) 5-131. "KWAIDAN was next to the last book Hearn wrote, and the last that he actually saw in the completed state. It was published in April, 1904 and its author died five months later, on September 16, while his JAPAN: AN ATTEMPT AT INTERPRETATION was going through the presses. Hearn had been living in Japan more than a dozen years when KWAIDAN was written, and inevitably some of his early enthusiasm for the country had been tempered by increased familiarity and more accurate understanding. But for the rich and varied folklore of the Japanese Hearn's admiration had by no means slackened. To the last, he was eager to unearth some quaint legend or trace down some curious bit of superstition as he had been during the first months after his arrival, and he worked with the same slow patience to render his discoveries accurately and without distortion into English . Readers of . [these weird tales] will not regret Hearn's passion for accuracy in detail and atmosphere, for here we have a group of tales of ancient Japan rendered with a fidelity to the originals that can be found nowhere else in the English language." - Oscar Lewis.
