The book is essentially a survey of world myth divided by type or 'genre.' While not listed on the cover, it is a Dorling Kindersley book, same publisher as the "Eyewitness" books that were very popular when I was in grade school. Each section has a basic passage outlining the story or myth the page is about, with side bars and captions that include other stories or facts that relate to the myth and relevant culture, as well as pictures of artifacts and geographical things, etc. It's a good mix of fact and story. The coverage of each myth or legend is enough to get a general idea for the tale, and provides a great start for further investigation if one should prove to be of particular interest.
I would recommend this for any person interested in myths and legends, regardless of age, and would recommended it for libraries and classrooms for its longevity as a book of interest.… (más)
