Myths are the dreams of mankind  at once utterly strange and hauntingly familiar. They tell of beginnings and ends  creation and destruction  life and death...     This beautifully illustrated book gathers together many of the most popular myths from all over the world  including a selection of the great Classical tales of Greece and Rome  and myths from Norse  Celtic  Egyptian  Native American  Aboriginal  African  and Asian traditions. They are retold for readers of all ages in a vivid  accessible style by Neil Philip  an authority on myth and folklore. The illustrations by Nilesh Mistry link the main episodes of each myth  involving readers in its action and atmosphere.   This exciting new approach also provides intriguing glimpses into the cultures from which these myths have sprung. Background information  accompanied by colour photographs  explores the tales' historical  cultural  and geographical context. The stories are grouped together thematically- allowing readers to appreciate not only the differences  but also the uncanny similarities between many of the world's cultures.   The Illustrated Book of Myths brings together and illuminates timeless  universal stories  many of which form part of our literary heritage. Its special qualities make this collection both an important reference book for all the family and a lasting source of inspiration and delight.
