This engaging series of childhood recollections tells about an
ideal school in Tokyo during World War II that combined learning
with fun, freedom, and love. This unusual school had old railroad
cars for classrooms, and it was run by an extraordinary man-its
founder and headmaster, Sosaku Kobayashi-who was a firm believer in
freedom of expression and activity. In real life, the Totto-chan of
the book has become one of Japan's most popular television
personalities-Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. She attributes her success in
life to this wonderful school and its headmaster. The charm of this
account has won the hearts of millions of people of all ages and
made this book a runaway bestseller in Japan, with sales hitting
the 4.5 million mark in its first year.
