About This Novel
This book contains 13 representative works of Ogawa Miaki, including "Red Candle and Mermaid", "Cow Girl", "Golden Ring" and "Wild Rose". In Ogawa Miaki's fairy tales, there are no princes and princesses who live happily ever after. Instead, there are old couples blinded by greed, old grandmothers who warmly care for injured butterflies, friendships that are forced to wither and wither due to war, and little girls who recover from illness under the infection of their family's innocence and cheerfulness. Ogawa Miaki faces the beauty and ugliness, joy and sadness of life directly with the candid eyes of a child. Fairy tales are not necessarily lies, and real life is not necessarily cruel. Ogawa Miaki tells us through his fairy tales for adults that deep stories should be told gently; on heavy days, let us kiss them. "Red Candle and Mermaid": In the sadness of the mermaid, we see human greed and God's punishment.
