From the Publisher
"This rollicking rebel, and the spice and pace of the narrative, will appeal to parent, teacher, and schoolchild alike. –Times Literary Supplement
"Soseki's lightest and funniest work." – Donald Keene
"Natsume Soseki is unquestionably one of Japan's greatest modern novelists, and the easiest approach to his work is through his delightful early satire, Botchan.
– Oliver Statler
