The Luminous Fairies and Mothra

Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.

My family members love Godzilla, and by proxy, I know a lot. I’ve even cross-stitched a Mothra for one of my kids. This story, written in 1961, is the origin of Mothra. The book is three short stories by three different authors, plus a longer essay by the narrator about Godzilla and Japan.

The three stories describe how the egg of Mothra was created, hatched, and why. The egg is guarded by three luminous fairies on Infant Island, but when they are stolen and taken to the mainland, Mothra hatches and causes destruction. This is a must-read for any Godzilla fan. Lots of fun.
