Each volume contains nine folktales, from England, Israel, East Africa, Japan, the Sioux, the Cherokee, and more. The entries range from a comic romp about a leprechaun's revenge, to scary stories featuring devious devils and witches, to retellings of familiar tales such as "The Shoemaker and the Elves." The briskly told stories are accompanied by line drawings and helpful source notes. [Review covers these Books of Nine Lives titles: Tales of Cats, Tales of Enchantment, and Tales to Frighten and Delight.]
