The texts compiled all repeated themselves and the author added almost nothing commentary wise to the folklore. There were also several inaccuracies
lodestardirective's review against another edition
1.0

There’s not much analysis of the historical origins of folklore elements so much as pointing at the written material of authors past as though it proves something.
