Don't know where on earth they got the descrition at Amazon and consequently here, but it is WRONG. This book is entitled, "Myths of the World", and is a wonderful condensed version of legends and myths from various cultures. Colum put the writing in everyday reading language. Stories from Iceland, Greek, Roman, Zuni, South America, Egypt, Jewish, Celtic, Asian, etc. Easy read, will catch you up on some of the old mythological creatures and people you vaguely remember from school.
