Katrina and Geoff retell Momotaro or the Story of the Son of a Peach, a Japanese fairy tale about a young boy who comes into the world by way of, you guessed it, a giant peach. He grows big and strong, befriends wild animals, and takes on an island full of demons. We discuss the fascinating reasons so many Japanese fairy tales were translated into English in the early 1900's and why reading different versions by insiders and outsiders of a culture can give different perspectives on the same tale.
