Gorgeous, thorough, and extremely readable. Exactly what I was looking for.

The oral epics included by Mihailovich and Holton in this collection of the songs of Serbia is fantastic. In addition to capturing the desterci meter of various songs, the editors annotated the text with footnotes to provide historical and social information concerning the South Slavs. Overall this work exhibits the excellent scholarship of Vuk Karadzic concerning his collection of South Slavic oral epics.
