ninetalevixen 's review for:

Through the Water Curtain by Cornelia Funke
3.0

The visual design is gorgeous, and I applaud the idea of wanting to share "tales from around the world," though the way they're framed and interpreted is a bit dubious considering the author is white (German) and many of the stories are not, yet they're presented through a very Western lens; there's also not much rhyme or reason to the order, nor any sort of conclusion to the book.

Still! I like that these are collected from (as far as I can tell) ownvoices storytellers, and it's definitely interesting to see how fairy tales intersect and compare globally.
