Summary
Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible， mini editions of short stories， novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers， designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith。
Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics， they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna， from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island， and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon。 Beautifully designed and printed， these collectible editions are bound in colourful， tactile cloth and stamped with foil。
In this haunting collection， the phantoms and ghouls of Japanese folklore stalk the page。 Lafcadio Hearn， a master storyteller， drew on traditional Japanese folklore， infused with memories of his own haunted childhood in Ireland， to create these chilling tales。 They are today regarded in Japan as classics in their own right。
'The stories occupy the reverie world our mind projects onto the backs of our eyelids， where the ordinary mingles with the supernatural' - Wall Street Journal

，
I feel as though I have been lacking just this book for a long time。 Hearn wrote rich and lively stories that， though short， have much tension and vividness contained therein。 Startling in their originality。 Deeply evocative of a strange and powerful folk-memory。 I was entranced and read them avidly， and finish the book craving more。 But alas， how many tales never were gathered in and written down， and so became lost？ The feeling of being ever on the edge of something big， but ultimately no long I feel as though I have been lacking just this book for a long time。 Hearn wrote rich and lively stories that， though short， have much tension and vividness contained therein。 Startling in their originality。 Deeply evocative of a strange and powerful folk-memory。 I was entranced and read them avidly， and finish the book craving more。 But alas， how many tales never were gathered in and written down， and so became lost？ The feeling of being ever on the edge of something big， but ultimately no longer knowable is strong！ 。。。more
