[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 8460935, member: 13107"] In which case, say [I]that[/I] in the prefix. If the point of the entire book is to present the folklore in it's historical form, explain that, and include in the explanation a statement that the historical form includes a level of detail not typically present. Tell people the value of including the additional detail. Make a note of the categories of detail which are included. In the monster blocks, instead of simply saying "XXX attempts to seduce its target", say "XXX are cruel, taking perverse pleasure in seducing the young and beautiful". Add historical notes: "XXX are used in stories to highlight the dangers that apparently friendly strangers pose to the young and naive," or, "XXX are used as a caution to those who are lonely that they are more easily taken advantage of", or, "XXX are used as a warning to the beautiful and vain."
