When I first selected this book from the bookshelf I thought it was a misplaced child's book. As I began to peruse it I became captivated by the story and wonderful pictures. It is a book on 'life cycles' suited to any age. A classroom of children follow the process of metamorphosis by watching a caterpillar in a jar. The excusite butterfly who appears is really you and me. The rightness of freedom vs. the selfish desire of ownership. I have purchased this book 3 times and tried to keep it for myself, yet it always ends up being a 'gift' to another in need. Ironically, I have never given it to a child! This book communicates far more than the words of the story actually say. This book is a treasure.

Armed with a needle for a sword, Issunboshi, the one-inch boy, becomes bodyguard to the Prime Minister's beautiful daughter, Miyuki. On the day she asks him to journey to the Shrine of Ise, where she will pray for a husband, his heart shatters for he is in love. How can the one-inch warrior of this classic Japanese folktale prove his worth to the lovely princess? To this day, all over Japan, the story of Issunboshi is famous: the inch-boy who had within himself the bravery, the determination, and the love that are the mark of every full-sized man.

Most people, not just children but adults as well, love listening to tales of strange spirits. Join author Eric Knudsen, born and raised on the island of Kaua‘i, as he shares experiences with ghosts and akua (spirits). This classic folktale, aptly named, "Spooky Stuffs" is full of spine-tingling short stories of one-eyed giants, pali (cliff) dwellers, restless skeletons and other ghostly creatures that haunt the imaginations of children and adults alike. Illustrator Guy Buffet’s chilling images bring these spooky tales to life and will make you think twice about reading alone in the dark. 
"Spooky Stuffs" was first printed in 1974 and continues to be a popular folk tale. This second edition publication of "Spooky Tales" is a tribute to Knudsen’s legacy.
