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
