NA The Kindle version is riddled with misprints and lacks illustrations. I'm fond of the quasi-arcane diction; I'm guessing the stories are Pyle's variations on traditional folk tales; they aren't as brutal as the traditional versions, although there is one anti-Semitic line, and Angela Carter would have a good time subverting the female roles. Ah, but the prose is so pretty. I would read a story or two as a break from more serious stuff. i'll add a print version with illustrations to my wish list. Recommended, but not as an e-book. Completely charming, both the stories and the illustrations. In some ways this is an early example of a "mash-up," because Pyle borrows and re-combines story elements from many sources. Bright young readers and adults should enjoy the book equally. The stories are good for reading aloud, too; the droll repetitive patterns (many groups of three!) are very effective orally. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
