A good variety of kinds of myths, with some context provided in the inteoductions to each section. However, I agree with other reviewers that some of the phrasing in the translation was awkward, and sometimes spellings were strange among otherwise English words.

This was a lovely, quick read. Many of the myths are quite short, and so it was easy to pick up and set down through out the day. The arrangement by theme/purpose was interesting, but I would have liked to have known more context for the individual myths. They have some temporal and geographic spread which was obvious upon the reading, and would have helped the reader understand them more.
