Mythology: The Age of Fable, The Age of Chivalry, Legends of Charlemagne | 
pickI‘ve always loved mythology and can‘t believe I didn‘t read this one earlier. It‘s a great starter book for someone just curious about myths. I enjoyed returning to all the old favorites from Greek and Norse mythology & while also hearing some from other cultures that were new to me. I liked how he mentions specific poems and other famous pieces that use mythology as a reference point. I don‘t think I‘ll ever tire of reading about Greek mythology.
I posted this 3 years ago , but @LeahBergen has me revisiting great spines .There are a kagillion editions of Bullfinch‘s Mythology, but when I found this old edition with a bold centurion (is there any other kind?) on the spine I had to buy it.
Some stories are hard to follow, but overall a great book.
pickRating: 8/5 stars
Come on, who doesn't love mythology? Because I love reading about them and have been fascinated about them ever since I could remember. And yes, I reread from time to time. It also happens to be my bedside book.

Oh, how I love blatant Victorian judgment! Thank heavens my eyes will be saved from all that is offensive to pure taste and good morals. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is always fun to shop your shelves! The tagged book was a happy surprise, I can take it off my list of books to buy. The Herodotus was easy to locate, which was unexpected.
A must add on to my library.

My jam. There will always be room in my house for more folklore.

Him: Tell me!!!
Me: Sssh my father, Poseidon, told me to read as much as I can while I'm in the mortal world.
Student: *looks at me with a confused face*

So my 10 year old reader is hooked on Percy Jackson and wanted a greek mythology book. So we went and got him a kickass one (and a couple more things 😬)
