Solid collection of stories, with an emphasis on the more mystical/magical tales. I also appreciated the notes explaining context and the evolution of particular tales from sources such as The Arabian Nights and the Talmud.

Good explanation of sources; of particular interest for me, for "The Golem" and "The Treasure."
