The drawings are great. Gorgeous. Some are the best I've ever seen from the Dame. The cover is fancy, the paper stock is environmentally friendly, the story is fascinating. But the writing is like an unedited first draft. It's so frustrating!!!

A real crowd pleaser, this one. One of my earliest Gorey experiences,so many decades ago, and I'm still haunted by doubts about what was going on at that party.

I love love love collections of folk tales, and this is one of the best. A very wide variety of cultures and styles, with interesting annotations.
