"There is in it romance of an unusual charm, unqualified manliness, and true human nature. ... It stands alone in strength and beauty and truth of delineation."—Louisville Courier-Journal.

"The Japanese legends are put into English with exquisite delicacy. They can have lost little of their character in the process. Some of them are grotesque, some beautiful, some surprisingly hideous, but they all bear unmistakable national characteristics.
