The folklore and artwork are delightful, but the coloring pages are too small, in my opinion. I enjoyed reading the folklore, however.

A belated thanks for choosing me to be among your friends, Dawn. It may interest you that one of my books, "Marvin Clark—In Search of Freedom", is now a matching FREE download on Amazon Kindle. Enjoy it while you can. (A little review on Amazon wouldn't hurt either!)
