"The oldest, best beloved, standard book of classical myths" -Edmund Fuller

Look Inside the Book

If you want to understand Shakespeare, Narnia, or even The Avengers , you need to know the classical myths. The tales of Zeus, Thor, Hercules, and Perseus are an essential part of a comprehensive education, and this collection by Thomas Bulfinch is one of the best retellings. Not only are these stories key for understanding western paintings, poems, and stories, but they are fun and exciting and you will remember them for the rest of your life. This Canon Classic is an invaluable resource to anyone interested in the stories that have permeated Western literature and culture for millennia.
