Description

A vivid anthology that gathers enchanted tales from every corner of the globe, this collection invites listeners to wander through forests of myth, bustling market squares, and moonlit gardens. Each story celebrates timeless virtues—courage, kindness, and love—while introducing quirky creatures and clever heroes from Japan, Scandinavia, Africa, and beyond. The tales are woven together with charming illustrations that bring the magical worlds to life, making the familiar feel fresh and the exotic feel welcoming.

The opening story follows Gon, a sleek, silver‑furred cat with eyes that pierce the night, and Koma, a delicate little feline adored by her mistress. Their chance meeting beneath a cherry tree sparks a swift, passionate romance, prompting the pair to flee together under a moonlit sky in search of a shared future. As they journey through sun‑drenched fields and cool, shady groves, their adventure takes an unexpected turn when a massive, dog‑like ogre bursts onto the scene, testing Gon’s bravery and the couple’s resolve.
