The Amazing Book of World Mythology: A Unique Celebration of Culture, Created by Artists from Across the Globe

A full-color anthology featuring 26 popular tales from a variety of cultures. Tales include classics like the Monkey King, Momotaro, Baba Yaga, Pandora’s Box, Anansi, and Sedna. Each tale spans about six pages, with easy-to-read text and ample dialogue. The myths are organized within six themed chapters, starting with “In the Beginning” and ending with “Magic and Trickery.” There is a brief introduction before each theme, as well as an illustrated spread to break up each chapter; these spreads highlight special topics like “Extraordinary Eggs,” “Quest Treasures,” and “Invincible Weapons.” What makes this book stand out are the beautiful illustrations at the beginning of each story, created by artists who come from the culture in which the tale originated. Back matter includes a brief glossary and index.
