Still, I doubt they're wrong in this case. Apparently the book extensively modified the stories to appeal to American audiences, distorting them in the process; employed exoticism and inaccurate cultural references; and, inevitably, failed to properly credit the people who actually contributed the folktales, among other problems. Kind of what one would expect from a book published in 1925, but that is hardly redeeming. | |
