<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The world's myths are filled with characters, creatures, and stories that have fascinated people for thousands of years. This series mixes dramatic retellings and non-fiction information to give a full picture of a culture's myths. This book explores the gods, goddesses, heroes, villains, tricksters, and quests that make African myths and legends so compelling.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A nice range of cultures is offered in these overviews, though with only four titles, the set is far from comprehensive. The busy, bright design incorporates blocks of small-font text, plenty of relevant photos, reproductions, and numerous informative sidebars. The rich information will allow students to explore the ways history and mythology affect each other. Stories, clearly marked "RETELLING," are interspersed throughout each volume, offering legends and tales such as "How the world began" in Norse. The back matter is full of solid resources, including lists of "Characters, Creatures, and Places" (with pronunciation guides), reading suggestions, websites (which are annotated and focus on public television and museums sites), as well as "Places to Visit" and ideas for "Further Research." Great choice for libraries seeking volumes that look above and beyond the pantheon.-- "School Library Journal, Series Made Simple"<br>
