Tengu can cause mischief, but as you will read within these pages, tengu also can show kindness to people.

They say, the tengu even taught ninjas their legendary skills!     FEATURES Includes three essays or stories Each story is presented in three formats: 1) Sentence-by-Sentence with definition and commentary below 2) Japanese only (to test your reading ability) 3) English translation (to confirm your understanding) The Sentence-by Sentence section of each story presents a small chunk of the Japanese with furigana over the kanji and a complete glossary of all the words; important grammatical patterns are pointed out and explained in plain English Find a link to download sound files for the stories (for no extra charge) on the last page of the book Each story has a slow and normal speed recording of the Japanese read by Yumi   STORIES INCLUDED  ① About the Tengu  ② Origin of the Tengu  ③ Tengu Stories   WHO IS THIS FOR?
