Written by a student in secondary who was down to crunch time on his paper and ripped the fluff out of his pillows only to put it down on these pages? Perhaps. This amalgamation of topics may as well be in a brochure stand, as the only purpose it serves is telling you what books you should have read in its place.

This was actually a very interesting read. I wish there had been more information on the Slavic people but I'm glad for the little bit I could read.

Vol 3 covers Celtic and Slavic mythology. The Celtic part is a fairly solid overview of Celtic mythology, though it won't appeal to readers looking for a simple "this god covered this, that god covered that" type of encyclopedia. The Slavic section was rather weak; admittedly there isn't a lot out there on Slavic mythology, but this was pretty sparse and was more about day-to-day superstition than real mythology.
