Night in the Oak Grove and Other Tales

A farmer enters a singing oak grove. A boy helps the Wildcat judge a quarrel among acorns. A mysterious extra child appears in a house.

Miyazawa Kenji’s rural worlds combine comic invention with beauty, unease, and the changing light beneath a mountain stream.

Four distinct tales appear in the complete six-entry source order, including two oak-grove editions and an exact duplicate of the acorn tale. Songs retain their verse lines, with concise explanatory notes.
