Many of these stories were new for me and I really enjoyed the story and narrator. One thing I would say as a change I’d love to see…. Not stopping in the MIDDLE of a legend to give a “title” that gives the story progression away. It ruined it a few times for me. I love the title at the start of a new legend though.

I really enjoyed this book. I've heard of a number of these stories but didn't actually know what they were about. So it was a nice to get them in one collection. I also liked that there were lessons to be learned at the end of each story. Hachiko and Kitsune were my favorites, but all were really fun to listen to.

I have both the audiobook and ebook, so it was nice to read and listen at the same time. Guy Barnes did a wonderful job narrating these stories. I liked his different voices for different characters. I like that he spoke in a way that he was telling stories about exciting adventures and characters to children to get them interested and excited. He had a good energy to his narration. This is my first book from this author and my first time listening to this narrator, and I would be happy for more.
