A book of folklore Book

This book was interesting. It's easy to see how much it differs from children's books nowadays. The ideas are all creative but very repetitive, the "good" character has the happy ending in all the stories. But it also made me wonder what was the definition of being good? The devils and demons in all the stories were the good ones in my opinion, they offered help when needed, and they kept their promises, unlike the other characters which we were supposed to root for. Or I'm just too old to read this. The illustrations were my favorite parts. Overall it was a good book to start with for people like me who are not "comfortable" yet with fantastical stories.
