Mesopotamian mythology - where to begin? Well I've searched for a while and this one seems to be the most complete all round offering. The best thing about this book is that it focuses solely on the myths, leaving out any dry theoretical rabble as to what the origins and meanings might be. Here we are given the roots of eastern religion itself in its utmost original form.\nTwo different versions of the epic of Gilgamesh, Ishtar's descent to the underworld, the creation myth, the flood and numerous others are included. Also a glossary of gods, places and key terms I found a very useful inclusion. \nAll in all make for an epic read that kept me turning the pages long into the night. The dictation is quite intense and impressively visual for something that was written about 6000 years ago. If you're interested in ancient religion then this should sate you hunger for a direct untampered with translation. Of course there are occasionaly fragments missing in the stories from damage to the tablets but that shouldn't put you off.\nI doubt there is any better book on the subject., Oxford Paperbacks, 0, August House.

These myths and legends will grip the readers'' imagination just as tightly today as they did a century ago. Tales of outlaws and desperadoes are one of the few types of folklore that are peculiarly American. The myths and legends surrounding such people as Belle Starr, Frank and Jesse James, and Wild Bill Hickock grip the national imagination just as tightly today as they did a century ago. In fact, authors Richard and Judy Dockrey Young explain, outlaw tales serve as the ""urban legends"" of the period from 1850 to 1930. Tales both thrilling and humorous about hangings and burials, shootouts and practical jokes, the Hole in the Wall and the ubiquitous Boothill Cemetery, punctuate profiles of outlaws and the lawmen who had the nerve to challenge them. This treasure hunt adventure will teach readers the importance of courage, resourcefulness and responsibility. | Outlaw Tales by Richard Young Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Kids Books > Fairytales & Myths & Folklore P10140, Richard Young<
