extremely dry, recycled writing that is broken up in a bite-sized way that should be easy to follow, but due to the aforementioned dryness simply interrupts an already meandering flow.

A collection of fairy tales supposedly collected in Serbia, but actually culled from five collections, one published in 1889 and the others during the first world war. I recognised one or two from other sources (King Midas and his ears), and the themes of course are very ancient; virtuous young men, beautiful young women, family and social dynamics, occasional magic spells and enchanted beasts, long journeys show more where odd things happen. Nothing that especially jumped out, though if I were still dungeon-mastering there would be some useful material. show less
