- Gabriel Garcia Márquez

When I got this book I didn't expect much from it. It's one of those books you can tell right away they're not very well researched or written and that was exactly the case here. The writing is poor and vague but, well, you can't ask much of a compilation of legends and hearsay, and that's exactly why I'm giving this book two stars. I just couldn't bring myself to hate the naivety and simple nature of this thing. It didn't pretend to be more than what it was and that's exactly what I got: a light (literally, it's almost weightless) and unmindful read. Helped me pass the time on a couple of bus rides if anything.

3.5Eine insgesamt schöne Sammlung von Endes Geschichten, allerdings waren ein paar Geschichten dabei, die mir nicht so gefallen hatten, bei manchen kam ich mir auch irgendwie etwas zu alt vor :/Aber besonders toll fand ich "Tranquilla Trampeltreu", "Norbert Nackendick", "Das Traumfresserchen" und "Ophelias Schattentheater". Ich glaube, die Bilderbücher werde ich mir im Buchladen mal genauer ansehen, in der Sammlung sind ja nicht alle Bilder vorhanden :)
