Other editions of book The Prancing Pony

Here is a book that might well be called "the japanese Mother Goose". It beautifully communicates the essence of Japanese childhood in a form that is immediately and delightfully understandable to children of other lands and cultures. In deft translation of 53 best-loved nursery songs and 55 pages of charmingly original illustrations the book offers an entertaining and instructive look at another country.
