Bulfinch's Mythology: The Classic Introduction to Myth and Legend-Complete and Unabridged (Tarcher Cornerstone Editions)

This unabridged edition of the classic guide to western mythology covers everything from Prometheus and Pandora to the Legends of Charlemagne. Beginning in the 1850s, American author Thomas Bulfinch collected ancient and medieval legends and retold them in accessible prose that allowed the average reader to appreciate their beauty and significance. His pioneering work remains one of the most trusted English-language interpretations of Greek and Roman mythology, Arthurian legend, and medieval romance.

Originally published as three separate volumes, this edition of Bulfinch's Mythology presents the complete and unabridged text of "The Age of Fable, or Stories of Gods and Heroes"; "The Age of Chivalry, or the Legends of King Arthur"; and "Legends of Charlemagne, or Romance of the Middle Ages."</<br>
