Great book, highly recommended

All the reviews are great here, but no 5 stars... I find that odd. The book contains great folk tales, the translations are put into a bit older English than what has been spoken the last couple generations, but I find that quite charming. Almost like reading the work and wordplay of the great Tolkein. All in all, a great book. It necessitates more five star reviews.
