Nankichi Niimi is a genius writer in the world of children's literature, one of Japan's three great fairy tale masters, hailed as "Japan's Andersen." He is also commemorated by the "Nankichi Niimi Children's Literature Award," the "Nankichi Niimi Fairy Tale Award," and the "Nankichi Niimi Memorial Museum."

Many of his works have been selected for Japanese elementary school language textbooks, Chinese elementary school language textbooks, and are required reading for the new language curriculum. His works are full of longing for beauty and innocence, and a cherishing of truth, goodness, and beauty in the human world. This book includes classic stories such as "The Red Candle."
Synopsis
A collection of stories that can accompany children's growth and shape their character.
A bridge book that allows all children to gain beauty and emotion from it.
The book contains five excellent works by the famous Japanese fairy tale master Nankichi Niimi.
The five fairy tales collected in "The Red Candle" were all created by Nankichi Niimi while he was studying at the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. Fairy tales such as "The Snail," "Michiko," "The Rapeseed Flowers by the Stable," "Spring in the Village, Spring in the Mountains," and "The Red Candle" cleverly and realistically express the heartbeat, emotion, joy, surprise, satisfaction, and excitement that young children experience when encountering new things or experiencing something for the first time, and the emotional growth that comes with gradually accumulating experience.
