*4.5 stars
This book was so magical. I didn't quite know what to expect going in to this read, but I loved it. All the tales were so unique and shared customs and traditions I had never heard of! I want to visit each and every one of these places now. It breaks my heart that many of these traditions are on the verge of ending as times change.
Each of these 10 "tales", were so diverse and well-written. I loved that the author went to the actual locations and did interviews. I found myself looking up photos online to picture everything alongside the author's tale. I felt some of these chapters went a bit off topic occasionally, or were a little long but overall, such a fantastic read.
To the author - please find and write about more custodians of wonder! I couldn't get enough.
Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for an e-arc of this book.
