People of all places and times have told stories in order to explain and understand the world around them. This unusual collection, rather than focusing on the stories of a single culture, groups myths from many lands according to kind. The bold illustrations brings these stories vividly to life with well-researched detail of costume and setting.
I am a 15 year old and, I, as an avid reader, often find my self caught up in using sophisticated and intense works for research on projects, etc. However, one book that I have had for many years has helped me greatly through the years among other things.

If you are contemplating buying a book of myths, for kids or adults, this is the one.
