The author divides the world's myths into eight themes and discusses the common elements between similar myths. He begins with the "Creators of Nature and Mankind," and ends with "Death and Rebirth." These myths, drawn from all areas of the world, shaped our common past and continue to influence us. The sentence structure and vocabulary make this very readable and, if the students are attuned to the subject matter, college prep classes will enjoy the read.
