Myths and Legends 1 and 2 are two companion anthologies of myths and legends. Designed to broaden students'knowledge of myths and legends and to open up some of the best legendary stories, students will learn that each culture has its own stories, and that these often have similar themes and plots and relationships running through them. The stories featured are drawn from many countries, cultures and traditions. One half of each volume consists of the traditional tellings of myths andlegends. Turn the book over and upside down, and the other half contains modern and imaginative adaptations of the stories.
