Best collection of essays

The best collection of essays on mythology I've ever read! Exciting introduction to the top authors in the field--I feel suddenly as though I got a very quick and easy course on the best new ideas on myths and legends. If you like Women Who Run with Wolves, you'll love this book! A must buy!!

great selection!

I've got a short essay in this book, so let me say at the outset that i have reason to be biased. but i'm not, because to be honest i think the piece i helped write (on dream interpretation) is one of the weakest in the book. ventura's essay on meeting carlos casteneda is fantastic. i honestly think it's a great book, which i'm really honored to be part of.cpr

Insightful and Entertaining

This book pulls together writings from many of the leading mythology scholars. It certainly broadened my thinking about folktales and mythology, and I have referred to it many times since I first read it in 1996. I am looking forward to SAGA Vol. II.
