"Indispensable and by far the most accessible anthology available."--Susan A. St. Peters, Riverside City College "The World of Myth is incredibly informative, covering a large range of cultures and regions. It could easily stand alone as the main text in an Intro to Mythology course. It is comprehensive, culturally inclusive, and well researched."--Maggie DiVito, Columbus College of Art and Design "This text is the most accessible survey of world myth on the market today. All cultures are represented. As far as coverage goes, it offers all that teachers need in order to give students a concise but representative perspective on the stories that we tell about ourselves."--Edward Karshner, Roberts Morris University, "Indispensable and by far the most accessible anthology available."--Susan A.

Loved this book
I was required to read this for a course, but I am keeping it in my personal collection. The stories are short and well written. It is a very good and easy read.
