Editor's Recommendation★The "Japanese Andersen" renowned in the literary world: Kenji Miyazawa's fairy tales have both a strong sense of nature and a unique humanistic temperament. They can be called "philosophical fairy tales from nature". Since their publication, they have become classic works that have accompanied the growth of generations of young people.
★ Japanese readers voted for the "most popular writer of the millennium", and Kenji Miyazawa ranked fourth, surpassing Dazai Osamu, Kawabata Yasunari, Mishima Yukio, Abe Kobo, Oe Kenzaburo, and Murakami Haruki.
★The source of inspiration for art masters such as Hayao Miyazaki: In Hayao Miyazaki's animation "Spirited Away", the scene where Chihiro and the faceless man take the sea train was inspired by Kenji Miyazawa's famous work "Night on the Galactic Railroad".
★Specially tailored for young readers, this new translation uses language that is more childlike and imaginative.
★The entire book is printed in four colors on pure paper with gentle colors, eye-friendly and non-reflective, and exquisite and beautiful illustrations. It uses images to reconstruct the master's magnificent imagination that transcends time and space.
