Yume No Hon: The Book of Dreams?an aged woman named Ayako lives in medieval Japan, but dreams in mythical worlds that beggar the imagination ... including our own modern world. The Grass-Cutting Sword?when a hero challenges a great and evil serpent, who speaks for the snake? In this version of a myth from the ancient chronicle Kojiki, the serpent speaks for himself.
