Notă biografică
In 2003, HIROKO FUJITA and FRAN STALLINGS received the National (U.S.) Storytelling Network’s International StoryBridge ORACLE Award for their work on both sides of the Pacific. They hope that their books will make Mrs. Fujita’s stories available to English-speaking story lovers everywhere.
Hiroko Fujita is a traditional ohanashi obaasan (storytelling grandma). She spent her childhood in the rural mountain town of Miharu in Fukushima Prefecture, where she heard hundreds of ancient folktales from village elders. A graduate of Japan Women’s University, she worked for over fifty years in early childhood education. Now she travels throughout Japan, sharing the old tales and teaching young mothers. She has written nearly three dozen books in Japanese. She lives in Kashiwa, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
Fran Stallings, a professional storyteller based in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, interpreted for Mrs. Fujita’s twelve storytelling tours of twenty-two American states, Japan and Singapore. Stallings edited and adapted English translations of Mrs. Fujita’s storytelling handbook and a collection of forty-seven tales known throughout Japan. Stallings’ other publications include articles, stories, songs, and four CDs. Her academic training in biology informs her environmental work as “EarthTeller.”

“How lucky we are to have even more of Hiroko Fujita’s delightful children’s folktales from Japan! Fran Stallings has done an excellent job of framing these for us. Fun tale-sharing for teachers, librarians, and grandparents.”
"Something special always happens when Hiroko Fujita and Fran Stallings work together. This collection of unique Japanese folktales is no exception, giving readers access to a wealth of stories which had been in danger of disappearing.”
“This is a sparkling collection of children’s folktales collected by Hiroko Fujita over many years and skillfully rendered here by Hiroko’s native-English-speaking storytelling partner, Fran Stallings, whose impeccable scholarship and extensive experience partnering with Mrs. Fujita on Japanese and American stages and in American classrooms brings a sure hand to these treasured tales.”
