transplanted_spud 's review for:

Custodians of Wonder: Ancient Customs, Profound Traditions, and the Last People Keeping Them Alive by Eliot Stein

4.0

funny hopeful informative lighthearted medium-paced

---

While some of the “wonders” were a bit thin (in service of making a bigger, more general statement)(looking at you, German letter tree), this book was overall an interesting and compelling read. The narrator did a fantastic job (although he pronounced “museum” weird) and it was akin to a long long-form podcast. Interesting characters and interesting stories.
