Now the gripes...the pages are sewn in individual sets that do pull away from the glued spine when reading..not a huge deal...they aren't coming out because they're sewn..but they do pull out a bit.
This isn't actually short stories like I thought. Upon revisiting the Amazon product page and rereading the synopsis on the back cover....I realized that the description does not allude to that...so, I'll take blame for the misunderstanding.
This is a book of winter folk lore....which I was actually quite thrilled to learn...I love folk lore. The problem lies with the writing, and lack of any real information. Almost every legend is similarly written and almost replicas of one another.
By the end of this book I was struggling to finish.....it got very monotonous to read the same things repeatedly.
I would only recommend this book for those that appreciate esthetically pleasing books. This would be a nice coffee table book for the holidays. I wouldn't recommend it for those wanting an indepth look at cultural winter lore.… (altro)
