The Book of English Folk Tales Bewertungen

A compilation of vivid, sometimes fearsome stories...The England we visit here has no afternoon teas or jolly rounds of cricket on lovely green lawns. In these pages, the sophisticated reader steps onto older, darker soil half-soaked in blood, superstition, and magic * The Wall Street Journal *
A beautiful collection that is stunningly presented a wonderful gift for lovers of folklore, especially for those who want to expand their knowledge of English folk tales * The Bookbag *
