It's pretty clear that this was, in fact, a draft of Ovid's. It has some interesting points though, and I wouldn't say it WASN'T worth it.

As a child I used to borrow books from the public library on Classical mythology that were aimed at children, and was always fascinated by these tales. It was thrilling, when, as an adult I discovered and was able to embrace this, the source.

It's insane just how much is contained in here and how much it inspired Western art. Love it, but I am biased because with all the wit and the puns and the play on words I feel a little bit of a personal connection to Ovid...
