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

4.0

hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

---

Stein does an excellent job of balancing between the custodian and the wonder! I enjoyed that there was in depth exploration of how these dying traditions were born - but I, even more, loved how careful Stein was to include the human aspect of these traditions. The prose was a little dry for my taste but I did have fun learning new things!
