This listing features the 1928 edition of "Japanese Fairy Tales" retold by Teresa Peirce Williston, first copyrighted in 1904 and published by Rand McNally & Company. The hardcover book displays a decorative green cloth cover with illustrated floral and bird motifs, as well as the title and author's name stamped on the front. It contains a collection of traditional Japanese fairy tales, including "The Wonderful Teakettle," "The Eight-Headed Serpent," and "The Tongue-Cut Sparrow," as shown in the table of contents.
