"These are powerful, resonating stories...The 20 myths here cast a wide-ranging cultural net. Accompanied by Laurie's ferocious and sometimes gory illustrations, which bring out the direness of the stories, these tales are an ideal collection for students to thoroughly explore the world of mythology or take a quick, occasional dip for a thrill of touch of the profound." -- Booklist
