"A wonderful collection. The creatures that appear repeatedly in these particular tales are numerous, varied, and familiar—giants, trolls, household spirits, water spirits, nightmare hags, etc.—and their stories, sorted into such categories as ‘True Dummies and Clever Folk,’ ‘How to Win the Princess,’ ‘Heroes and Heroines,’ and ‘Moral Tales,’ are funny, unusual, and enlightening."—Booklist
