English Fairy Tales (Webster's Japanese Thesaurus Edition)
English Fairy Tales (Webster's Japanese Thesaurus Edition) Review
English Fairy Tales (Webster's Japanese Thesaurus Edition) Feature
This edition is written in English. However, there is a running Japanese thesaurus at the bottom of each page for the more difficult English words highlighted in the text. There are many editions of English Fairy Tales. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your Japanese-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to "difficult, yet commonly used" English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Japanese, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. This edition is helpful to Japanese-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. Students who are actively building their vocabularies in Japanese or English may also find this useful for Advanced Placement® (AP®) tests. TOEFL®, TOEIC®, AP® and Advanced Placement® are trademarks of the Educational Testing Service which has neither reviewed nor endorsed this book. This book is one of a series of Webster's paperbacks that allows the reader to obtain more value from the experience of reading. Translations are from Webster's Online Dictionary, derived from a meta-analysis of public sources, cited on the site.

English Fairy Tales and Legends
English Fairy Tales and Legends Review
English Fairy Tales and Legends Feature
“English Fairy Tales and Legends” is a collection of 43 traditional stories that recount the adventures of giants, witches, princes, princesses, and animals. These are real fairy tales and not watered down tales with a happy ending. Though not politically correct in every way, “English Fairy Tales and Legends” is true to the spirit of children’s stories. Along with the classics (e.g. Jack the Giant Killer and Tom Thumb) there are lesser-known tales full of real suspense, action, ghosts, magic, really wicked stepmothers, love lost, imps, and fairies. And no guns. English Fairy Tales and Legends provides the little stressors that Disney doesn't, so that the effect is genuine - real anxiety, and real relief at the point of resolution. You can never be sure that there will be a wedding at the end of any story. This book also has beautiful word-play and rhythm. A real keeper!
