Query: Stories have been translated better in other collections

Though the book claims that this collections translates most of these stories for the first time, almost all of them have appeared in English in other books previously. Zipes' translations are fairly clunky and do not capture the nuances of Hesse's original text -- nor do they match up to previously translated collections of Hesse's shorter works. You'd be better of hunting down Hesse's stories at the used book stores.
