Written in a lively and contemporary style, "Myths of the World" presents the best of the great mythologies that have enthralled listeners and readers across the centuries. It is organised by region into 18 myth-making cultures - read about the quests of Gawain in the ancient forests of Britain and the legendary heroism of El Cid in Spain; learn how the Spider Women in North America used her gifts, and what the Mongolian shamans used the shoulder blades of sheep for. This is a timeless treasure-trove for adults and children alike.
