A valuable resource for any library...,

This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Mythology (Hardcover)
Greek, Norse, and Celtic Mythology are covered pretty thoroughly within these pages. The section on the celtic hero Cuchulain is one of the most in depth articles on him I have encountered.
This is an excellent resource. Other versions have been released by Cotterell that cover Asian and Oriental mythology as well.

Mythologyyyyyyy,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Mythology (Hardcover)
I love Mythology. Specifically Norse in this case.
This book, just had it all. Every god and goddess I cared to read about. It was compact enough to fit in my hand bag, (yes my hand bag is bigger than most...and yes I carry mythological encyclopedias a round....how embarressment. :p ) For any one interested in the ancient myths from norse, classical, or celtic, this book is a one stop wonder. if it doesn't have the info you need or want, it has enough to point you in the right direction. There's also info in this book, that for whatever reason I never found else where, such as on internet sites or text book. Very in depth, easy to follow. a great read and a great purchase.
