About the author

Lafcadio Hearn

1850–1904

Best known for bringing Japanese legends and ghost stories to English-language readers, this globe-trotting writer turned close observation into vivid, atmospheric prose. His work still feels fresh for the way it blends travel writing, folklore, and a deep curiosity about everyday life.
