Modern fairytales, like traditional fairytales, have magic, romance, heroes and heroines, villains, and significant morals or lessons in life. But they are set in today’s world and adopt current ideas and values. These stories loosely follow this distinction but occasionally venture beyond. Many of them are set in modern Japan, where I lived for 3 years.
The Garden Dress, the longest story in this book, is a modern fairytale reminding us about the priceless value of the arts in civilizing society. It is a magical tale, set in a Japanese city, and features a beautiful kimono that may unfold into a marvelous private garden.
