WHO'S WHO IN NON-CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY
Oxford University Press. Near Fine. 1993. Softcover. 0195210328 .

With its global multicultural perspective Who's Who in Non-Classical Mythology presents exciting and readable accounts of the gods heroes and myths of Europe including the Celts Teutons Slavs and Basques the Americas Africa Australia China Japan and Indonesia. For those interested in a fresh approach to world mythology it is indispensable; for lovers of the classical tradition it will open up a whole new world. ; 235 pages .
