Both a reference text for scholars of all ages and a book to simply enjoy, Mythology is a classic not to be missed., For decades readers have chosen this book above all others to discover the thrilling, enchanting and fascinating world of Western mythology.

Wonderful
Very very pleased with my purchase... eBay made a mistake with my billing address and I messaged them about it, they were very nice and understanding and made sure that if I hadn’t received it in a long time, they would fix that. Thankfully, I got the book and was very very happy at how early and brand new it was... Very pleased :) Thanks!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
