Its value lies in the breadth of mythologies and pantheons included -- a nice, first-stop reference. The downside is that, naturally, in covering as broad a range as possible, the provided information is not as in-depth as one would like. Also, this is a dictionary, not an encyclopedia, so don't expect encyclopedic entries. Bonus points for how well the book covers multiple spellings of names, but points detracted for the lack of pronunciation guides. To sum up, this is a good addition to your mythology reference collection, but it can't stand alone as a resource. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
From the fairy tales of our childhood to the Greek and Roman gods, this well-researched book really expands on the topic of mythology. It includes myths, heroes, places and legends from all five continents, and from the different cultures and peoples found there. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

That said, those entries on subjects I have prior familiarity with have shown me that the author of this compendium is worth trusting. I have picked up some great new information by paging through these intriguing entries. Whether you are looking for a reference book to help you get more out of literature, or simply looking for an engaging tome filled with fun and fascinating information from the world of myth, I would highly recommend this volume.
