In recounting these tales, he unravels for us their multiple meanings and brings to life the beloved figures of legend whose narratives lie at the origin of our civilization.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An engorssing, stimulating and lively book."--London Times Literary Supplement<br><br>"Storytelling at its best ...
