Classical Mythology: Myths and Legends of the Ancient World by F. Storr, V. C. Turnbull, Nathaniel Hawthorne
3.0
As an introduction to basic mythology, this is a good collection. The stories are straightforward and easy to read, if a little dated. I think that a more modern, engaging narrative might have better served than such a dry delivery. Also, because so many tales are included in this volume, the stories are woefully short, almost clinically so. Something of the rich tapestry that draws us to myths and legends is lost here, but if passing familiarity is all you need then look no further.
