In which effort and fearlessness overcome some gnarly dreads.
In which a girl comes to inhabit an instrument. (The story calls it a fiddle, but clearly that's for Western readers. Based on the image, we think it's a veena.)
In which death doesn't prevent anyone from being alive. (Just for the record, the image is of Maharani Jindan, rebel queen of Jansi, who was a hero of the resistance, not a wicked stepmother. We just liked the picture.)
In which a girl believes what she wants to, but makes a roaring comeback. Warning: this story is a little violent, though not graphically so.
In which we have all the classic elements of a fairy tale, and a kneading trough.
In which good begets evil and we are morally perplexed.
In which six brothers acquire a useful set of skills and the Pleiades come to be.

In which some things are very large and some very numerous.
In which three merry wives make fools of their three silly husbands.
In which there is a terrifying ghost and cowardice wins the day. Painting by Natalie Frank.
In which a fisherman tries to make off with a fairy's robe.
In which there are star-crossed lovers and a ghost, and Sappho sings.
In which there is inner fire and grasping at fire.
In which we learn how the jellyfish got so gooey, and the importance of studying anatomy.
In which there is love and tragedy.
In which a Rat seeks to make a grand match for his beautiful daughter. The second of seven Japanese fairy tales.
