I think folk tales are often more interesting than stories like the ones in this book

[Ege Terzi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think it was quite good book, stories are fancy and really good picked ones. It is worth to read and also you might see that are you giving enough attention while reading the book with those end of the chapter tests.

I wish there would be couple more series of this book.

My first long English book.

It was organized by many short stories and divided as a few chapters which made me feel not burdens to read a book in English.

There's summary behind every story, it helped me to understand the whole story I just read.

Since I read this, I got confident to read English books, sometimes still hard though.

Btw it was a good start to make me feel less stressful to read English books :)
