Loved it

I've decided to do a short stint in fairylands, and then move on to some special projects. I've got 3 on my mind, maybe 4. We'll see. This was mainly Greek, Roman, and some Norse myths, which as (I think) we all know have been translated in very different ways in the centuries since they were told/invented. It's always interesting to hearing the little differences to me. I also liked that I could complete an entire "story" each chapter. It's helping me get back into reading after the bad taste of a former book. Would I say this book is "necessary" as the cover would have you think? No. But I do think there are many lessons to be learned from myths and fables, and I think everyone should read those of other cultures and times to gain wisdom from all over. I was raised globally and I still think and live globally, even as I plant my feet in the Fort Worth soil. 8/10 recommend, put it on while you're cleaning or doing something mundane and you'll be quite content to hear the stories!
