This wasn't really what I'd expected it to be. I thought the whole book would focus more on historical truths and myths and rumors. Instead, a large part of the book was spent summarizing the Bram Stoker story of Dracula, which I suppose is good for younger readers (who this book was designed for) to introduce them into classic literature. I just wanted more information on the "fact" portion here than the "fantasy"-I feel like enough light has been shed on the fantasy aspect of Dracula.
