Tales of the Hermit, Volume III: The Monk and the Samurai, the Sword Maiden, and the Katana that Caused It All

Rating:
Summary: An astounding work of illustrated fantasy and mythology
Review: Tales Of The Hermit, Volume III is an astounding work of illustrated fantasy and mythology. Integrating text and haunting, black-and-white images to tell the narrative in a manner bordering on the graphic novel, Tales Of The Hermit, Volume III weaves the stories in a faraway eastern land where a long-traveling and long-suffering westerner has sought refuge. The dazzling stories of swordsmanship, duty, honor, loyalty, the evolution of the spirit, and much more make for an unforgettable blend of Japanese culture, personal growth, and ponderings of the soul.
