Russian Fairy Tales by Alexander Afanasyev
3.0
2.5 rounded up to 3
This is a big book and many of its tales are fun. I once narrated one of the tales to my English Teacher back in school and it had our class rolling with laughter.
So, when I decided to go through the whole of it this time without skipping any tales, it was harder to do than I had thought.
I am usually fine reading a book of this size or bigger but here the stories tend to repeat the essence and some of them come off as more rambling.
If the book was shorter or with more variety of tales and with better editing then this would have been a precious piece to hold.
