B. H. Chamberlain - The Serpent With Eight Heads - 1885

This book contains an English-language version of the Japanese fairy tale The Serpent with Eight Heads, a well-known story from Japanese mythology. The narrative follows the legend of a powerful multi-headed serpent and the events surrounding its defeat, presented in a literary form intended for an English-speaking readership. The text forms part of a series of Japanese fairy tales translated and published to introduce traditional Japanese stories to a Western audience.

The book is rare. It was issued as part of a small Japanese fairy tale series and produced in Japan for English readers. It is bound using a traditional Japanese stab-binding and printed on traditional Japanese paper, both of which are characteristic of the period and are less commonly encountered today in English-language publications.
