Davis has put together a fairly entertaining book of world mythology, presented in a more engaging way than a typical school text. The entire globe is covered, but it’s a bit thin in some areas (e.g. Asia and Africa). I was amused but unsurprised that some currently practiced religions are treated as myth here (e.g. Hindu), but no mention is made of Christianity or Islam, whose verity could be considered equally suspect. Still, educational and well worth reading.
