I liked it so nice ... I bought it twice!
I got this paperback home and, once I started reading it, I realized I already had it! That's what happens when you have a library of over 1,000 books (conservative estimate) and no cataloguing system. Must get to that one of these days .... anyways!
Wonderful vintage paperback "Mythology - Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes" by Edith Hamilton. This is "A Mentor Book", 1969 edition by Signet, Signet Classics, Mentor, Plume and Meridian Books. Illustrated by Steele Savage.
Back reads in part:
"The Greatest Volume ever written in a field that can never be exhausted" - The Christian Herald
High Adventure - The Gods, The Creation and the Earliest Heroes, Stories of Love and Adventure, Heroes of the Trojan War, The Great Families of Mythology, The Mythology of the Norseman". ... and so much more.
If you enjoy reading about the classic Greek Gods and Goddesses ... this book is for you!
"Mythology as it should be written ... She has the rare quality which is able to penetrate into modes of thought not our own and to transcribe the spirit of another age." - Book of the Month Club News
335 pages.
Wonderful condition for its age - $1.00 is written in ink inside the front cover - not what I paid at today's used book store prices! No writing, no tears, binding is strong.
