The &quot;myth&quot; and the &quot;legend&quot; are timeless while the &quot;folktale&quot; takes on a rustic quaintness reminiscent of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37538599">more...</a>]]></body>

It's true that their ideas may topple dynasties with their brilliance, but that's only provided you can make head or tail of them after wading through three hundred pages of dry, tangled prose.
