Above all things, the most fun for a young Oni is to get into a crockery shop. Once there, he jumps among the cups and dishes, hides in the jars, straddles the shelves and turns somersaults over the counter.
-from "The Oni on His Travels"

This collection of traditional myths and legends from Holland sings with the spirit of that charming land, and delves into its culture to illuminate the nation's sprightly personality. First published in 1918, it features a bewitching selection of fairy tales:

The Entangled Mermaid
The Boy Who Wanted More Cheese
The Elves and Their Antics
The Legend of the Wooden Shoe
The Curly-Tailed Lion
Santa Klaas and Black Pete
The Goblins Turned to Stone
and many more.

Children and adults alike will continue to find this a delightful read today.
