A book in my Kindle Virtual Collection of Myths and Stories and Some-FactsBy ErSingI like stories especially well written books that allow one's imagination to seek its own level and involvement in the presented story.It is always a refreshing time to become immersed without the distraction of movie/cable/TV commercials; inappropriate sexual scenes; crude language and actions supported by annoying colors; disgusting switching between unrelated other themes; loud sounds and noise (?music?) to support extremely poor content; and people reading their lines.I recommend this book for those who like to use their imagination.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Steven W. JohnsonGreat!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Subject taken seriouslyBy HumbasAn enthusiast and independent student of folklore; I dare say that this work takes Fairy Tales to a new level of understanding. It seems to be written with true (and unbiased!) academic passion for the subject; and leads the reader through a detailed exploration of a topic so entwined in our development as human beings; that never ceases to amaze.
