I've owned this anthology for a few years now so I'm pleased I finally sat down and read it (on audio haha). There's a huge variety of mythology and folk tales from different cultures in this book, so not only did I enjoy the short stories, but I also learned about legends and tales from other countries too (some of which I'd never encountered before). As with any anthology, some stories were more memorable and impactful than others, but I liked the fact that almost all of them put a positive, more progressive spin on the original tale.
