A blind musician with amazing talent is called upon to perform for the dead. Faceless creatures haunt an unwary traveler. A beautiful woman -- the personification of winter at its cruelest -- ruthlessly kills unsuspecting mortals. These and 17 other chilling supernatural tales -- based on legends, myths, and beliefs of ancient Japan -- represent the very best of Lafcadio Hearn's literary style. They are also a culmination of his lifelong interest in the endlessly fascinating customs and tales of the country where he spent the last fourteen years of his life, translating into English the atmospheric stories he so avidly collected.Teeming with undead samurais, man-eating goblins, and other terrifying demons, these 20 classic ghost stories inspired the Oscar(R)-nominated 1964 film of the same name.

A great collection, but fails to cast Black Panther as a superhero
There are some great things about this collection of stories: women are well represented in lead roles; backstories for Miles Morales, Steve Rogers, Carol Danvers, and Tony Stark; stories that incorporate Black men as role models; and the important role technology plays in many of the stories.
Now for our big disappointment. The Black Panther story is not about T'Challa becoming Black Panther, but more about Spider Man fighting Kraven, and once disarmed, Black Panther making him, "pay for the crimes [he has] committed against the animal kingdom," by delivering "the final blow." This did not sound like superhero/ role model behavior to us. I also found it strange that all the background characters in this story were white. That is not the New York city I know.
The stories included are:
- Miles Morales as the black spider man
- Gamora vs. Nebula
- Steve Rogers becoming Captain America
- Spider-Man finding his place among heroes
- Black Widow and Hawkeye
- Carol Danvers becoming Captain Marvel
- Rocket, Groot and technology
- Captain America vs. M.O.D.O.K.
- Tony Stark becoming Captain America
- Spider-Man and Black Panther vs Kraven
- Drax, girlfriend Kaz, and Star-Lord
- Captain America and Iron Man seek help of Captain Marvel
Overall, my son enjoys reading these stories and looking at the pictures. Though we will need to continue our search for a good Black Panther story, we are glad we bought this collection of stories, with the Miles Morales becoming Spider-Man story my son's new favorite.

Very cute
Very cute Winnie the Pooh bear. It has a rattle in it. I’m looking forward to giving this to my future grandbaby very original looking a very good price. It is soft and I think it’s perfect for little hands.

Definitely for a Baby
This little Pooh is as described and definitely for a baby. I had hoped to gift it to an adult but upon receipt, I realized while it is a lovely gift for a baby, it would not relate well for an adult. The ears crunch and there is a sweet rattle inside. It’s very soft and a baby would find it comforting.
