srreid's review against another edition
3.0
Took just over 2 years to get through this 500 pager, which says a lot. Can be quite dry, sometimes could only read a few pages at a time, then be weeks before I was in the mood to try again. But persevere I did (don't like to give up on books once I'm past page 50 or so)
Every page has some picture or illustration to go along with the text, and i say text rather than stories. This is more like a historical reference than a set of stories, which is what made it such a chore to get through. Interesting to see common themes among different types of people throughout all of time, regardless of how far apart in both era and geography each may have been.

My parents bought this book for me when I was eight years old. I still have it and I still read from time to time. I love that the book covers, with vivid color photos, mythology from around the world.
