"Telling Tales on Tokyo" offers a fascinating glimpse into life in Tokyo around the turn of the 20th century. Written from the perspective of the Presbyterian Church's Board of Foreign Missions, the book provides insights into the social conditions, urban development, and missionary work being conducted in the rapidly changing city. It details various aspects of daily life, religious activities, and the challenges faced by missionaries working in a foreign land.

This historical account captures a pivotal moment in Tokyo's history, as it transitioned from a traditional society to a modern metropolis. The book's observations on cultural exchange and religious outreach provide valuable context for understanding Japan's interactions with the Western world during this period. A valuable resource for researchers and anyone interested in the history of Tokyo, missionary endeavors, or the social dynamics of a city undergoing profound transformation.
