Myths from Around the World

One of the most interesting ways to learn about other cultures is through the myths, legends, and stories that they pass on to successive generations. From the tales of the heroes of Greek myth to the mischievous Anansi of African folklore, these stories explain larger truths about the societies and cultures from which they originate. Each illustrated book covers the myths of a specific region or culture including Mesopotamian, Chinese and Japanese, and Native American myths.
