I love Aesop's Fables, Grimm Fairytales, and even nursery rhymes, so this collection was naturally going to be something I had a lot of fun with. Some of the stories were a bit slow and I was as interested, but most of them were short and compelling with lessons that ranged from good to kind of messed up, but that's how these stories always go. It was fun getting a glimpse at these folktales/fables that I didn't grow up with but that someone across the world from me did.
I had a lot of fun with this book, and I definitely recommend it as something to pick up and read one or two stories when you have a few minutes here and there.
