 | Watts Children's Dictionary of Mythology by David Adams Leeming
The Watts Children's Dictionary of Mythology introduces young readers to the characters and plot lines of the world's most fundamental stories, the ones people have told to explain who we are, where we come from, and how the world works. More than 300 entries are arranged in alphabetical order. With this book, kids will become familiar with different mythological traditions (Arikara, Japanese, Dogon, Greek, Norse, Hopi, Sumerian), deities and characters (Spider Woman, Hercules, Yama, Maui), themes (Quest, Flood, Creation, The Search for a Father), places (Underworld, City, Garden), major works (Eddas, Iliad), and concepts (Mother Goddess, Cosmology). Most important, the extensive cross-referencing directs readers to similar characters or stories in different cultures -- and this encourages a rich understanding of mythology as a multicultural theme. Frequent sidebars relate the stories in which major characters appear, including the Adventures of Glooscap, Inanna in the Underworld, and the Cattle Raid of Cuailgne. A guide to pronunciation accompanies all proper names. AUTHOR: David Adams Leeming
