A disappointment: not a scholarly work. There are no citations, no bibliography, and the entries are all too frequently either misleading or just plain inaccurate. I suppose it's interesting reading, to find all this information in one place; but when you don't know which bits are accurate (if any!), it's not very useful.

Most unusual historical tales. Most amusing.
