flying_monkeys's review against another edition
4.0
Retellings of legendary monster stories from the oral traditions of Northeast nations. Most of these tales were told to young children to warn them away from venturing into dangerous territories (like near cliff edges or swampy bogs). Others were told to teach children humility, to respect their elders, the power of intelligence over greed or pride, trust in their parents' stories.
As an adult, there were only 2 that creeped me out. However, each of the illustrations was way creepy and wholly evoked the "monster story" vibe.
