"Myths and Legends" for kids

I am a 15 year old and, I, as an avid reader, often find my self caught up in using sophisticated and intense works for research on projects, etc. However, one book that I have had for many years has helped me greatly through the years among other things. Myths and Legends from around the World is a beautiful book. The myths are interesting and (finally) understandable. Also, the illustrations are outstandingly beautiful and detailed. If you are contemplating buying a book of myths, for kids or adults, this is the one.
