What a charming compilation. The illustrations are beautifully rendered and the tales vary in theme, whether of tricksters, justice, or origin. I will draw from this collection if I teach World Mythology again.

I thought I was tired of reading folk tales. Turned out I was just tired of reading European folk tales.
These were all so fun and interesting. There was one story that I knew previously, but I can’t remember where I heard it. All the rest were new to me and I had a great time reading this book.
