Humans have always had a deep, riveting connection with the mystical world. Stories of magical species, divine encounters, curses, blessings, beasts and mysterious occurrences are a crucial part of our history! Passed down over generations, some stories come from a time even before the written word! Whether it�s the Americas, Europe, Africa or Asia � our world is filled with rich, diverse cultures and the stories they tell. Crommelin has wonderfully hunted down and compiled such legends for this book, containing both myths you might be familiar with and ones that are less well known, but just as important. These enchanting tales are bound to open you up to a world of creative imagination and possibilities!

From Robin Hood to The Cid, Sigurd to Brian Boru, this collection of tales will connect the reader of these legends with timeless themes that have enabled them to pass the test of time. Locally reprinted with permission.
