[Anne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was attracted by the title and cover illustration of this e-book. It also reminded me of the many folk tales that I used in my art classroom over the years.
Robin Moore has been a storyteller for over thirty years and has traveled the world, seeking local storytellers wherever he goes. This book is one of his e-book adaptations of folk tales from his vast collection. Rich in imagery, they conjure up distant lands and times. I have always enjoyed folk tales. Some of these were familiar, and some were new to me. I especially enjoyed the author's statement at the end of the book, where he lists print resources of the stories contained in this e-book. The author's website is also very interesting and worth checking out.
