Japanese Fairy Tales

Yei Theodora Ozaki (1870–1932) was a Japanese translator of short stories and fairy tales. Ozaki was born in London to Baron Saburō Ozaki (1842–1918) and an English woman, Bathia Catherine Morrison (1843–1936), and she spent her youth in Fulham, moving to Toyko in 1887. Yei took up work for a British diplomat, and travelled Europe before returning and taking up a post as a teacher. She began to publish translated short stories from 1900, and her crowning achievement, The Japanese Fairy Book, was published in 1903.
