David Leeming distils world mythology into some of its most essential forms - deity, creation, flood, trickster, and hero - and he offers illuminating examples of each one. His clear, concise summaries and interpretations will surely serve as springboards for further research. This volume makes an inspiring introduction for newcomers to the field, and a handy reference guide for anyone already working with myth. Joanna Gardner, Co-founder, Fates and Graces Mythologium
