A collection of myths from all over the world. Serves as an introduction, so does not really go in depth.
But interesting, nonetheless!

I got it as a birthday present years ago. It was an interesting book, filled with interesting facts and decorated with beautiful pictures. It's not only tell you about Roman and Greek myth, there are also Polynesian, Native American, Asian, African myth, so it really could expand your knowledge about mythology. However, the explanation of the mythology is not really deep and through, so if you want to know more about a myth, perhaps you could google them to find out more or find another more specific book.
The part that I like the most from this book is the comparison of deities from all myth by their role, so we could see the (somewhat) equivalent deities from different culture. It is a good book for those who want to know about world mythology in a glance.
