This Supt, Otani stry is a flashback to his investigation 20 years before of the death of a missionary at a fox (Inari) shrine. IT interested me as I knew missionaries in Japan when I was one in Korea, and because I ike some of the Asian fox-spirit stories, notably on in Tang Dynasty Stories. ( )

A sweet and magical book about a young girl's experience during her first trip to Japan. It seems she was destined to go to Japan in order to help the spirit of a boy be released from the lower worlds. In the process she learns how to make critical decisions and rely on her own intuition. ( )
