About this product

Product Information

Lafcadio Hearn lived an eventful life -- he was born on a Greek island to a British father and a mother of noble Kytheran-Greek lineage; as a small child he was sent home to be raised in Ireland by relatives. As a young man, he went to Ohio, where he found work as a newsman, and eventually wrote morbidly yellow journalism, eventually becoming known for florid accounts of local murders, developing a reputation as the paper's premier sensational journalist. (Quoth Wikipedia.) He moved to New Orleans, where he wrote of local culture, and his cookbooks are still well-known. He went to the Caribbean, and wrote books on that as well. And then he moved to Japan, and that's where he did the work that everyone remembers, even now. The last fifteen years of his life produced books like Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan, Out of the East: Reveries and Studies in New Japan, Kokoro: Hints and Echoes of Japanese Inner Life, Gleanings in Buddha-Fields: Studies of Hand and Soul in the Far East, The Boy Who Drew Cats, Exotics and Retrospectives, Japanese Fairy Tales, In Ghostly Japan, Shadowings, Kotto: Being Japanese Curios, with Sundry Cobwebs, Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things, Japan: An Attempt at Interpretation, and The Romance of the Milky Way and Other Studies and Stories. And he was a teacher at several colleges in Japan while he wrote those. Quite a life.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
