Mixed bag, in many ways

(3,5 Sterne)

This book is a pretty haphazard affair. The only theme that seems to carry through to the end is that most of the entries are quite short. Then again, a few are rather long. [P] The best of the book is the collection of international folk and fairy tales. The editor has brought together tales not just from Europe, but from almost every continent (I’m pretty sure Antarctica was skipped.) [P] Less compelling, to my mind, are the rest of the pieces. There are some weighty names, to be sure: Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens, etc. From these authors we get little snippets of books and poems- quality stuff, but with wildly variant tones from the fairy tales. Interspersed in the mix are bits of doggerel and common fluff. Just a couple of nonfiction bits are added for further confusion. [P] The book may well be simply a stroll through the editor’s bookcase (“bookhouse”?) which may explain the schizophrenic selection, but what is up with this title?!
