My Lord Bag of Rice crosses a dragon's bridge, and Urashima Taro the fisher lad rides to a palace under the sea. Yei Theodora Ozaki retells Japan's great fairy tales, the tongue-cut sparrow and the farmer and the badger among them, profusely illustrated by Japanese artists. The classic gateway collection. Cross the bridge first. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
