Interesting Japanese Resouces - Folk Tales

Ah, Momotaro! image source

I fell in love with this site the moment I saw it: http://hukumusume.com/douwa/pc/jap/index.html

It's the anthology of Japanese folk and popular tales in Japanese, some of them come from really remote prefectures and are otherwise difficult to obtain by a common foreigner like you and me. For every day of the year there is one tale with the text, and most of them contain audio files as well, so you can practice both listening and reading comprehension.

Bedtime story, anyone?
