Lavishly illustrated, this book gives very short synopses of myths making it an easy, interesting read for anyone unfamiliar with mythology. It's probably best suited for teenagers studying mythology but it's an easy way to introduce anyone to some myths you're not familiar with. There are a few good pages comparing heroes and gods from around the world. There are some "see also" footnotes at the botttom of the pages to help you find related topics which is helpful because the book is laid out rather haphazardly due to the amount of space dedicated to illustration.
