The member of a distinguished British literary family, A. B. Mitford traveled widely with his parents as a youth and lived in various European countries. From 1866-70, he served as an attach with the British legation at Edo (Tokyo) -- one of the first foreign diplomats to do so. During his brief stay there, Mitford lived through a period of dramatic and tumultuous change in Japanese history. A feudal nation on his arrival, Japan had entered the era of "Westernization" before he left some three years later. During that time, however, he quickly and thoroughly mastered the Japanese language and acted as an interpreter between the young Japanese Emperor and British royalty.Mitford's famous collection of classic tales (the first to appear in English) covers an engrossing array of subjects: grisly accounts of revenge, knightly exploits, ghost stories, fairy tales, folklore, a fascinating eyewitness account of a hara-kiri ceremony, gripping narratives of vampires and samurai, Buddhist sermons, and the plots of four Noh plays.
A treasury, as well, of information on most aspects of Japanese life, with information on locales, customs, and characters, the illustrated volume delights as it entertains, chronicling acts of heroism, devotion, ruthlessness, and chivalry that illuminate the island nation's culture.
"One of the first and in many ways still one of the best books on Japan." -- The Japanese Times.
"An excellent introduction to Japanese literature." -- Mainichi Daily News.

They taste better than expected- make sure to check the label
Color: Assorted, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The company is going through a transition right now, so some of them have xylitol and some of them do not. If you are looking for the kind with xylitol, this one is not it. But it makes it very confusing because one page will have different products and someone will have xylitol and someone will not so make sure you are looking at the ingredients and cross referencing what you can see in the picture and what's in the description. I got a couple kinds and I have found that what is in the picture the ingredients in the picture is what I actually got. If you're looking for the Non- xylitol kind with the other two ingredients that are good for teeth than it's this this one. I use other xylitol products so I was looking for the other two ingredients specifically. If either way it doesn't matter to you then I would go ahead and purchase for an adult or a child. But you have to be more careful with the xylitol kind if you were using other types of xylitol or have a sensitive stomach or IBS or you're giving it to a child. It may upset a child's stomach, especially if eaten in high amounts, you can get gas and diarrhea. So I was looking for specifically the one without xylitol. And for a product without xylitol or sugar, these taste great. I am a fan however I do like the.zolli balz kind a bit better. For a younger child, this shape is less of a chocking hazard.

Tastes good, but I sounded like a deflating pool raft for about 3-5 hours after consumption
Color: Natural Fruit Variety, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
Listen. I bought these because they’re “good for your teeth,” “won’t spike blood sugar,” and apparently dentists recommend them. Cute. Adorable. I love the idea of a guilt-free lollipop.
What I was not prepared for was the industrial-strength intestinal chaos that followed.
These things taste great — like, dangerously great. I ate two. Not a whole bag. Not half a bag. Just two little sugar-free angel pops. And about an hour later I realized I had made a tactical miscalculation.
My stomach started sounding like someone was inflating a pool raft inside me using a faulty air compressor. I was walking around my house like a Victorian woman with “nerves,” clutching my abdomen and praying for mercy.
The gas? Oh, the gas.
I don’t know what mystical sugar alcohol is in these, but it turned my digestive system into a wind farm. I produced enough air to power a small suburban neighborhood. I scared the cat. I scared myself. At one point I swear my own fart ricocheted off the hardwood floor and came back for a second round.
Do they hurt your teeth?
No!
Do they spike your blood sugar?
Absolutely not.
Do they destroy your social life for 12–24 hours?
Yes. With precision.
If you want a great-tasting candy that won’t mess with your glucose — and you live alone, outdoors, or somewhere with excellent ventilation — go for it. Five stars for flavor. One star for the fact that these turned me into a human whoopee cushion.
Final verdict: delicious but dangerous. Approach with caution… and maybe open a window.

These are amazing
Color: Natural Fruit Variety, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Natural Fruit Variety, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
Recently diagnosed diabetic with a huge sweet tooth... I was looking everywhere for something to feed the craving without putting me into medical danger. Not only are these delicious but they are better than most regular lollis. I immediately went to purchase other zolli candy. 10/10 will repurchase and recommend

YUMMY & non gas causing (less sorbitol)
For a sugar free pop - it’s yummy and not overloaded with that gas-causing chemical ‘sorbitol’ Perfect for smoke cessation, or nighttime pie hole stuffing problems

Nice treat
A little sour, but then, it's what I can eat when I crave something different from sweets
