The Book of Yokai: Mysterious Creatures of Japanese Folklore Paperback - 2015
by Michael Dylan Foster; Shinonome Kijin (Illustrator)
From the rear cover
"Overflowing with great stories of Japan's fantastical monsters, spirits, and other creatures of the collective imagination, The Book of Yokai is filled with solid information, a variety of new perspectives, and the kind of richness of detail that will enhance any reader's enjoyment of Japan's monstrous folk traditions."--Dr. Bill Tsutsui, President of Hendrix College and author of Godzilla on My Mind "Foster's yokai are living beings, real in their own way: they migrate from the woods and ponds of rural prefectures to books, games, anime, and the toy stores of Tokyo. With writing that flows like water and a fluid command of yokaiology, Foster produces a complete picture for any fan interested in knowing more."--Paul Manning, Trent University
