Ama's Picture Books

My grandmother recently left me her entire collection of picture books and children's literature. The entire collection is comprised of over 300 books. I am attempting to read as many as possible in 2014.

The Painter and the Wild Swans

The Painter and the Wild Swans - Claude Clément

written by Claude Clement, illustrated by Frederic Clement

 

I enjoyed the story, particularly the illustrations, but I don't understand why the poem at the end says "Japanese translation" when it would have originally been written in Japanese.
