Review # 1 was written on 2011-09-26 00:00:00 Lisa Cate I enjoyed this collection of folklorish tidbits (mostly from the 17th through 19th century). It actually references where most of the lore is from, which is nice. The pictures are apropriate and also well-referenced. This would make a sweet gift book.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-06-17 00:00:00 Nigel Harrington Too many of the lists were just lists, no explanations, no fleshing out of information, no telling a good little story. Lists I did like (those that did tell a good little story) were "20 Unusual Lawsuits," "18 Unusual Stolen Objects," "18 Celebrities Who Went to Jail," "7 Religious Sex Scandals," "15 Famous People Who Acknowledged Having Had at Least 1 Homosexual Experience in Their Lives," "12 Strange Deaths," "8 Really Unusual Medical Conditions," "8 Great Finds," and "12 Examples of the Dark Side of Disney." This book has an index, which is really helpful for actually finding specific information. I learned from this book that Bob Weir wrote a children's book called Panther Dream. It's about the African rain forest.
