is a 2002 short story anthology edited by Japanese author Haruki Murakami. Despite the theme's happy connotations most of the short stories have a dark, melancholic atmosphere. ==Editions== Murakami selected and translated the texts, adding an original short story of his (later collected into his own ''Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman'', 2006). For the English edition at Harvill Press (using the original English-language versions of the stories), he added an introduction and selected one more story. For the Japanese reprint, he added two stories. The main editions are thus: * 2002: Japanese-language, 11 stories. * 2004: English-language, 12 stories plus introduction. * 2006: Japanese-language, 13 stories. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Birthday Stories」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
