Treasury of Folklore: Woodlands and Forests: Wild Gods, World Trees and Werewolves by Dee Dee Chainey, Willow Winsham

3.75

This was a little different than I expected. Rather than just a collection of stories, the authors reference or briefly retell folklore and tales, with an emphasis on the way stories from around the world differ or are similar. There is an extensive bibliography in the back. There were a few random times where there's "editorializing" by the authors that felt out of place. It is a beautiful book with the woodcut stylized illustrations.
