"Regrety's Big Book of Fabricated Folktales from Finland"

Regrety's Big Book of Fabricated Folktales from Finland (April Winchell)

Just exactly what it sounds like (well, aside from "Big"): A book full of made up folktales and invented facts and statistics about Finland, usually about how Finland smells like pee and everyone who lives there is a depressed drunk who takes turns beating each other with sticks to pass the time while the moonshine ferments. It has nothing in common with the author's other book except the quality of writing, which is still excellent. This is a good bathroom book, as it is a little short (like this review).

Grade: B+
