The Editors of Time-Life have produced another fine series: The Great Ages Of Man. This volume, Early Japan, chronicles Japan's great achievements through a very special historical narrative. This is what Mr. Leonard tells with skill and grace, covering the period from Japan's shadowy beginnings as a backward land on the edges of the civilized world, to the time when the pattern of its own cultural greatness had become well set by the early 17th century.
