Do you have any books about Ashikaga or medieval Japan?

asked James, the most intelligent man I know. I took a human geography class with him at UNL back in 1990. He has a master's degree in just about every social science discipline and is the most well read person, I am sure, in Omaha, and probably the whole state of Nebraska.



I found information for him in our "Cambridge History of Japan" Volume 3, Medieval Japan and the "Kodanisha Encyclopedia of Japan."

As I kid we had an Aesop's Fables album that we listened to all the time so I was glad to see there was an Aesop's audio book available. Also, there were lots of classics, Black Beauty, Alice in Wonderland, House at Pooh Corner, etc. Once I have my mp3 player, I'll look forward to adding some of these and listening. I thought it was interesting that they had a "Story Book" section rather than a "Picture Book" collection, and that I didn't see any of the picture book classics there - probably copyright issues and expenses with having those available here.
