The Book of Myths by Jean Lang is a collection of timeless tales and legends that have been passed down through generations. The book is divided into different sections, each containing a different category of myths such as creation myths, hero myths, and trickster myths. The stories come from all over the world, including Greece, Egypt, and India, among others. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers of all ages. Each story is accompanied by beautiful illustrations that help to bring the myths to life. Some of the most famous myths included in the book are the stories of King Arthur and his knights, the adventures of Hercules, and the creation story of the universe according to the ancient Greeks. Overall, The Book of Myths is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology and folklore. It provides a comprehensive overview of some of the most fascinating and enduring stories from around the world.In this little collection of myths, the stories are not presented to the student of folklore as a fresh contribution to his knowledge. The book is intended for those who, in the course of their reading, frequently come across names which possess for them no meaning and who care to read some old stories, through which runs the same humanity that their own hearts know.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
