The Let's Read Japanese series provides graded stories for all learners of Japanese, allowing them to practice the language at different levels, and also learn about Japanese culture and society.

The books include famous stories from Japan and other parts of the world--re-tellings of traditional stories, classic tales, Japanese legends and poems, as well as some newly commissioned stories--all designed to introduce particular aspects of Japanese culture and society. The stories complement any textbook being used by a student of Japanese anywhere in the world; the books are ideal for those learning in language schools or through self-study.

With beautiful color illustrations woven throughout the text, based on classic and contemporary Japanese art, the Let's Read Japanese series will ensure hours of pleasurable learning and practice.
