It also lays bare what the translation from dialect into English takes out of the tales' wording.

The handful of folktales preserved in original dialect are just... ahhh. Love.

I'm finding this book really interesting, but the author's opinions of old practices really do shine through. On this page: describing a practice as "hocus-pocus". Really? Really? I mean, I'm a huge cynic about this stuff, I'm sure the practice had no bearing on the cow's health, but can you treat the people you are writing about with some respect?
