Reviews

[Tracey Gill]

The editor is a bit racist and elitist concerning non European stories. He also managed to find the most boring translation possible of the stories.

[Ashleigh Oldfield]

This book is great if you want a quick run down of folk tales from around the world. It breaks the folk tales down by country, which can be helpful if you are trying to research for a novel. However, the writing is not very compelling, and it can be difficult to read for any stretch of time. This book is not so much for enjoyment and information.

[Hafidha]

Gave this book away during KonMari challenge. I got about halfway through it, but typeface made it difficult for me to read, and I feel pretty sure I can find most of these stories elsewhere. Not counting as fully read.
