"The Elves and Puss-cat Mew reminds me a lot of Indonesian fairy tale stories that I read when I was about 10 like Sangkuriang and The Gold Snail. I read this book intending to find out more about the 'unfamiliar' roots of fantasy. Now after reading a few of the stories, I feel like I'm meeting some very old friends that I forgot I had." — Jun 10, 2013 09:45AM
