As the name of the book already says, 'the little book of world mythology' sums up very vaguely, the myths and beliefs of different places of our world. Informations are simplified for everyone to understand and logically very much shortened.
Due to the book including small comments (like this) or some kind of funny annotations that make the book rather subjective than objective; this book felt like sitting down with a friend who tells you about many of the different world mythologies!
This is a nice read if you wanna see what the main aspects of some mythologies are. It will kind of give you a direction, but of course no overview of the full stories.

A very nice read. This book gives you a general idea of mythologies from all over the world. Although it's not detailed and therefore not the best if you're looking for very specific information, it's good if you're just curious and want to learn something new. And also the author uses modern language and humour so it doesn't feel like you're reading a textbook.
