A collection of myths is always a compelling thing. These stories tell us a great deal about how a culture viewed the world. We see power structures, interactions, and values. This particular collection is told in clear, easily understood language. And as far as myths are concerned, these are not especially violent or agressive. They are stories that would be okay for a younger child to read without becoming overly upsetting. With pleasant, stylized illustrations this is an excellent addition to any collection of mythology books.
