Title: Merely an author using 'research' to grind out tired 'adaptations' of myth.
Product review: I thought I had found a book focusing on the various shapeshifting myths through different times and cultures. Instead I have a book of about seven stories 'adapted' by Zenko. I don't want to read a 'modern' retelling of a particular myth, I want a comprehensive collection of mythlore. True, each story is prefaced with a small mention regarding the basis for each of Zenko's stories, but it was a waste of time and money for research purposes.
