About

A classic book of ghost stories from one of the world's leading nineteenth-century writers, the author of In Ghostly Japan and Japanese Fairy Tales.

Published just months before Lafcadio Hearn's death in 1904, Kwaidan features several stories and a brief nonfiction study on insects: butterflies, mosquitoes, and ants. The tales included are reworkings of both written and oral Japanese traditions, including folk tales, legends, and superstitions.
