Translated from the Japanese by Jocelyne Allen--Title page verso.

"The stories contained in this collection hail from the 1967-1969 timeframe and are revered as classics by Japanese �Ge�Ge�Ge no Kitar�o fans"--Cover.

"This book is presented in the traditional Japanese manner and is meant to be read from right to left. The cover at the opposite end is considered the front of the book"--Page 397.

"Kitaro is just like any other boy, except for a few small differences: he only has one eye, his hair acts like an antenna that senses paranormal activity, his geta sandals are jet-powered, and he can blend into his surroundings like a chameleon. Oh, and he's a three hundred and fifty year old yokai, a spirit monster. With all the offbeat humor of an Addams family story, Kitaro is a light-hearted romp that blends the eerie with the comic"--Provided by publisher.
