Today is Tell a Fairy Tale Day! To celebrate, we are looking at Lafcadio Hearn’s translation of the Japanese fairy tale “The Goblin Spider”. This edition, published by the innovative publisher Hasegawa Takejirō, features exquisite illustrations of the story. Bound in the double leaf fukurotoji style and printed on crepe paper, the book has a unique, soft texture that makes it as delightful to hold as it is to read.
