Whether it's the adventures of Greek gods and goddesses or Norse trickster tales, we all love to hear a good story. Kenneth C. Davis gives readers a taste of the diverse myths that live on in the cultures and religions around the world today. In his trademark question-and-answer style, peppered with entertaining sidebars and quotes, he also shows how almost every civilization's mythology shares common themes. A wealth of photographs and art reproductions, along with clever black-and-white illustrations by Sergio Ruzzier, helps convey mythology's lasting vitality. This is the perfect young companion to Don't Know Much About® Mythology -- and other titles in Davis's best-selling Don't Know Much About® series.

Good Companion Book for More Complete Text

In my college survey course of world mythology, I use Davis' "Don't Know Much About World Myths" as a companion book to the excellent "World Mythology: The Illustrated Guide" by Roy Willis. Davis' short book (144 pages) obviously shouldn't substitute for a more comprehensive reading of world myths, but it is very helpful for seeing the big picture. It also correlates well with the topics and myths covered in Willis' book. Even though the stated level is grades 4-8, my college students say it gives them a good overview before getting more in-depth into the various cultures. The chapters correlate very well with Willis' book.
