Very interested in storytelling wests, I hastened to order this book unknown. The preface the author compares to C. Perrault clearly but I never felt the same excitement in reading the stories. Besides, I stopped at the first (the book is a collection) so I got bored reading. There is though the preface that I found interesting indeed! I would venture to say that style is nianian. The first story (the only one I've read so) is long and yet it is of little content. For me the story would have been nicer on two or three pages rather than tens!
