A Thousand Beginnings and Endings by Elsie Chapman, Ellen Oh

3.0

I'm not much of a short-story reader, but I really enjoyed this. There were a few that I could have skipped over altogether, but there were also several that have me wanting to look up the authors longer works. I loved the introduction to new-to-me folklore and each story was followed by a brief introduction to the original tale. After the first two stories, I started reading the follow-up essays first and then reading the stories, which I feel helped me enjoy them more; I think the book should have been organized that way.
