lightningsews's review against another edition
The translator used racist stereotypes for the "villains" in each of the story and the Barnes and Noble editors did not give any reason as to why they chose this translation for the Barnes and Noble and why they chose not to edit any of these harmful descriptions. It was especially bad in the Aladdin story.
