So, I’ve seen these all over the place. They’re usually books that have real simple titles like ‘Chinese Myths’ or “African Folktales’ and they’re all made by the same company ‘Flame Tree 451’. Does anyone have an opinion on these things? They’re usually very cheap so I’ve gotten a few of them, but this is the first time I’ve finished one.
For one thing, they’re a bit dull. Now, this could just be the Chinese Myths book, but a lot of the stories feel like reading a Textbook instead of an anthology of stories. Also, it’s really hard to figure out if any of these stories are accurate. I’ve tried looking a few of them up, but either the telling of the story is entirely different or I just can’t find a source on it to begin with.
Has anyone else read one of these things? And what were your thoughts on them?
