You unearth an array of interesting books, Ian.

Thanks Daniel! Credit to my GR Friend Fourtriplezed for pointing me in the direction of the Neglected Books site!
On the site there's a link to a 1987 article by a Yugoslav journalist who discovered the book and who went to visit Ruštanj. Vuka and Vida were still alive at that point and remembered the author vividly!
A very interesting review, Ian, and a rare find.

Thanks Fiona!
Unsurprisingly many of the books on the Neglected Books site are out of print and are above my price limit for buying a book. I managed to get this one at an affordable price.
Thanks very much Linda! It's a very unusual book.

I like the Forgotten Books site as some of those books are free.

Definitely an advantage...
Hi, Ian, you've done it again. I feel this one is a 'must' for me. I loved your comment about the author's style being such that you wanted to apologise for your ignorance about the guests at Penelope's table!
A gripping and energetic review!
Thanks again to 4ZZZ for putting up the link.

Thanks very much Jeanne! This book was a really good find. I think you will enjoy it.
Hi Ian. Yes I agree with all of Jeanne's commentsy. Was thinking along similar lines . I enjoy your reviews so much. I often feel I don't need to read the book. !

You would almost certainly enjoy this book, Trish.
