Book Description From the Front Cover Flap
Armed with a needle for a sword, Issunboshi, the one-inch boy,
becomes bodyguard to the Prime Minister's beautiful daughter, Miyuki.
On the day she asks him to journey to the Shrine of Ise, where she
will pray for a husband, his heart shatters for he is in love. How
can the one-inch warrior of this classic Japanese folktale prove his
worth to the lovely princess?
Description
Another version of the classic, The Frog Prince, this Japanese
folktale is a touching story about a "one-inch boy who had within
himself the bravery, determination, and the love that are the mark of
every full-sized man." Issunboshi is a story of young love, journey
and adventure that proves that no matter how small or big you are, it
is the size of your heart that matters most.
