The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Mythology: An A-Z Guide to the Myths and Legends of the Ancient World

Useful reference book.

Jam packed and fairly comprehensive. Well cross referenced - my geeky 11 year old adores it, and i've been pleasantly surprised by some of the lesser known stuff that is covered. Excellent purchase.

At first disappointed as not what I classed as alphabetical, but once I realised about the "grouping" it made sense. It is a marvellous book to have in my personal library as I am learning that myths are actually true history rather than fairy tales.

This is a fantastic book, must have for those into the subject!

I was disappointed - not so much if I'd paid full price for the book - that the author waffles too much when giving explanations, instead of giving concise, clear descriptions. I will in future avoid the authors, not because I doubt their knowledge, but their writing.The publishers ought to be shot for producing a book with such small print.
