This is a fun collection! I really appreciated that it had stories from all over the Asian world—even as far west as Iraq and Turkey. There is a variety of styles (both art and writing) and of tale types. Some were familiar, either because they are similar to the Western tales I know better or because I‘d read them before, and many were unfamiliar. I did feel like it petered out at the end, getting quite dark and finishing inconclusively.

Loved this collection of folktales that originated in various countries in Asia. It was fun seeing each artist's take on old stories. I do wish there was a little context included for some of the stories. This would be an excellent companion piece for anyone studying any of this folklore. #Asia #Folklore #Comic
