Croatian Tales of Long Ago, Part Two - Hyperliterature Exchange review

New on The Hyperliterature Exchange for May 2007: a review of ‘Croatian Tales of Long Ago, Part Two’, edited by Helena Bulaja; written by Ivana Brlie Mazuranic; and animated by Edgar Beals, Mirek Nisenbaum, Laurence Arcadia and Helena Bulaja.

“Every animation on this CD is worth seeing for its own sake; but when they are viewed in conjunction with the original Tales, and the background information about Mazuranic herself, then a much more rich and complex picture emerges…”
