This book has far too many poems for my liking - they are far too much of a hassle for me to translate. However, they are easily skippable.

Other than that, a major focus of the folk tales in this book seem to be religious stories - the founding of churches and monasteries, stories behind church ornaments and relics, and so forth. I'm not sure if this is was the planned focus for the first book in this series (there are two further volumes), or if this continues throughout of the collection.

I could easily fill an entire book with tales about churches and monasteries from all over Germany. However, I'm not sure how popular such a collection would be - presumably, most fans of folk tales are more interested in tales of supernatural creatures, magic and the like. Thus, it's probably best if I tackle this kind of topic later, once I have already made a name for myself.
