Size

The size is entirely too small. I ordered the size I normally do and it feels like it’s two sizes too small. I double checked to make sure I didn’t somehow get a girls shirt instead of a woman’s but I did in fact order a woman’s shirt.

Wonderful collection

Beautiful edition packed full of stories that are easy to memorize and tell your friends, sorted into categories in the table of contents. Treasuries of stories from specific cultures like this or the equivalent Greek, Norse, Chinese, and Native American collections BN also published in this series are important and they've made them accessible in lovely leatherbound books. NOTE: To those who own the smaller 2014 flexibound edition called Irish Fairy and Folk Tales, this larger hardbound treasury contains every story or poem found in the flexibound edition. There's one story in the small book called Pat Diver's Ordeal by Letitia Maclintock which is renamed Far Darrig in Donegal in this larger book, so it is indeed included, and it took me flipping through every page to confirm that. There are only two things that don't carry over: the flexibound's "original sources" section listing the books the stories were compiled from, and the flexibound's introduction, which is instead replaced in the hardcover by W.B. Yeats' original introduction which is missing from and only referenced in the flexibound. Other than that, the hardbound has all the same content plus many times more (and even has the same cover designer, David Ter-Avanesyan).
