A very good collection on a very important topic: folktales of kindness. Kindness seems to be falling on the wayside in today's world of heated arguments and conflict. These gentle tales remind us why it is an important value, and how we can practice it day after day. A good selection of old tales from around the world, accompanied by colorful proverbs, shows us that humans have always valued kindness and generosity, even if we sometimes forget it's in our nature. The stories come with extensive sources and recommended readings, which is useful for educators and researchers. A well curated, well selected, and all-around lovely collection.
