Customer Reviews

Great stories.

This is a really great book. The stories are just fascinating: sometimes magical, sometimes scary and at times funny. They are all retellings of core European folklore with lots of symbolism and things to think about. This gives lots of brainfood to adults, but the book is great for kids too. I use this book in my elementary class because it is interesting for me to think deeply about the stories and they are interesting for the kids because the story lines are great.
