About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Kodansha America, Incorporated, 1993. First Edition First Printing Stated . Hard Back. Very Good/Very Good. 7 1/2" X 10. Kasamatsu, Shiro (illustrator). 47 pages. Colorful pictorial laminated covers. Previous child-owner's name in red on front endpaper. Library pocket on back endpaper. There is no other evidence that this book was ever read or opened otherwise. The brave little boy who sailed to the Capital in a teacup and fought a demon with a needle to win the love of a Lady is a Japanese cousin to Tom Thumb. Kasamatsu's decorative and dynamic illustrations, painted over half a century ago, brilliantly depict the tiny samurai's adventures and their surprising and romantic conclusion. Writer, translator, and lyricist Ralpy McCarthy's witty verse retelling of the rollicking tale begs to be read aloud.
