Kwaidan Stories and Studies of Strange Things

But the Japanese story-teller, in every case, has so recolored and reshaped his borrowing as to naturalize it." Lafcadio Hearn was one of the original American expatriates to move to Japan; after living in New Orleans for some years, writing stories, he moved on to Tokyo, where he married a Japanese woman and changed his name. Hearn is best known for his supernatural tales.Hearn, Lafcadio is the author of 'Kwaidan Stories and Studies of Strange Things' with ISBN 9781410215413 and ISBN 1410215415.
