Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Japanese Letters of Lafcadio Hearn
Among the legends is a great deal of fanciful non sense wrapped up in the technical verbiage of the specialist, which always daunts and convinces the ignorant. But as a fact Lafcadio Hearn's eye troubles were not the result of disease, and no more affected his character and writing than the deafness of one ear would have done.
