description: A compact reference source that offers general readers bibliographic access to significant English-language translations, retellings, and summaries of myths from cultures around the world. While Greek, Roman, Norse, and Arthurian myths are the best known, this bibliography also takes special care to survey the less familiar materials containing African, Asian, Oceanian, and American myths while it offers a sampling of the best and most accessible European myth collections. The annotated entries are arranged geographically with an additional chapter containing comparative studies and collections of myths from more than one part of the world. This easy-to-use reference source also includes author, illustrator/photographer, and subject indexes.
