Monstrous Myths gives a good introduction to myths and monster tales from six different eras and cultures. Each book has at least six tales, and gives a short overview of how the tales evolved. Tales are illustrated with vivid, colorful pictures and sidebars give additional information. The tales will help students to recognize patterns and themes in each culture's mythology. The language used to relate each tale is informal with a light, humorous tone. While these books would probably not be used for research, they do give the reader a good summary of each tale and an impression of the mythology. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Index. Lisa M.
