Drawing on oral and written sources, he called his collection of the strange and wondrous Strange Tales from a Studio of Leisure.The fruits of his lifes work become immensely popular with storytellers who performed the stories in teahouses, where rapt audiences would sit for half a day drinking tea and listening to tales of ghosts, fox fairies, and other wonders.Almost unknown in the West, the stories are given new life in this important work by the masterful Michael Bedard.
