My Thoughts

My parents gave me JAPANESE CHILDREN’S FAVORITE STORIES as a Christmas present when I was 10 years old. I read a few of the stories before now, but not all of them. I really wish I had read more of these as a child. The ones I had read were familiar and very fun to revisit. The ones I hadn’t read were also fun, but the lack of nostalgia had me nitpicking the writing style. While the stories are great, the writing was something to be desired, probably because of the “lost in translation” factor.
