Rossdavidh is starting The Borzoi Book of French Folk Tales
I've realized that even when they are horrible, the attraction of old folk tales/fairy tales is how un-Disney they are. Not that Disney is _so_ bad, they have their place, but the extraordinarily unpolished and impolite nature of the old tales is a large part of their attraction.

Slightly disappointed that only 2 of the 4 names referenced in the famous "Princess Bride" fencing scene, are included in the table of contents.

I have to say, he does not stint on the visuals, here.

I never thought I would say this, but I may not be nerdy enough for this book. On the other hand, the illustrations are fascinating. Of course, when I look at some of them, I think, "hey, that kind of looks like a choose-your-own-adventure diagram". Maybe I am nerdy enough for this book after all.

This is going to be a book that creeps me out for a while, even after I'm done reading it.
