Book Reviews of Old Polish Legends
Book Review: A book everyone interested in Poland should read
Summary: 5 Stars
Old Polish Legends, as retold by F. C. Anstruther contains 11 legends that have survived a thousand years. The book is beautifully illustrated with wood-engravings by J. Sekalski.The stories recount the meaning behind Poland's national symbol and flag, about several of its early rulers and first king, and the dragon of Krakow. The stories themselves are entertaining, yet are also very informative in learning about Poland. Additionally, many of the legends take place in actual places that one could visit today.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about Polish culture. These tales explain what history books cannot. Which elements in the legends are true is left to the reader to question, yet undoubtedly, there is some truth to them.
