Myths, Gods and Fantasy

by Pamela Allardice

An encyclopedic dictionary of over 500 characters and creature types from the mythology of peoples throughout the world. In addition to the classical, Egyptian and Babylonian, Celtic and Norse figures are Chinese ghosts, Mayan gods, Russian elves, a German prankster first discovered during World War II, and other things that go bump in the night. Africa is not represented. The lack of pronunciation is a serious defect in a reference covering so many languages. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
