About this book

Kintaro, the Nature Boy (Kodansha's Children's Bilingual Classics) by McCarthy, Ralph F.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9784770021021.

This legend of Kintaro is one of Japans most enduring and popular childrens stories. Kintaro was raised in a mountain forest by his beautiful young mother, and his gentle nature and prodigious strength win him the love and admiration of all the forest creatures. Eventually recruited by a famous samurai lord, the boy goes on to earn fame and fortune after conquering a band of evil demons. Suiho Yonais rich, dramatic illustrations have been inseparable from the image of Kintaro in the minds of Japanese children for over fifty years; now Ralph F McCarthys lilting verse brings this tale to life for English-speaking children everywhere.
