This remarkable collection takes us more deeply into the tradition of folklore than those which are made on the Grimm principle of 'pleasing tales for the nursery'. It is entertaining and amusing, but nothing has been sacrificed to the latter element, nor are the narrators of the tales made more important than the subject. Illustrated.
