Book of fairytales that I read a bit at a time and thoroughly enjoyed. I feel I’d have liked a bit more background to the stories themselves but other than that, it’s a beautiful read.

I can safely say that Innuit fairy tales are the strangest things I have read in a long time!

All in all, a great variety of stories from all over the world, sometimes there were too many stories which were just a variation of familiar stories that we all know which could have been replaced with unknown tales but at the same time, it's still interesting to read different interpretations of the classics.

The Inuit stories in this book is insane, they were all so wild and humourous!

I wish that there was a date added to the places the stories had come from too but there's a little note of each story in the afterword which was lovely and appreciated.

I loved all the Palestinian stories too, it truly shows how the history and culture of Palestine is deep and rich. May we all live to see a free Palestine.
