"A Book of Myths" deals in a most entertaining manner with the mythology of Greece and Rome and many other noted lands. Added to the pleasure of the story there is the lure of the legend and the spell of old ways and customs. Not only many of the most celebrated are retold, but also many of the less well-known tales. The aim of the author, it is stated, has been to simplify for those who are not erudite scholars the stories of mythology, to which constant reference is made not only in classic, but in modern poetry, and to direct the attention of readers to poems which are not already known to them. Included are tales of Prometheus, Pygmalion, Orpheus, Perseus, King Midas, Pan, the Lorelei, Baldur and many more.

Most of the mythology books are boring. A Book of Myths is an attempt to solve this problem, by telling the stories of mythology in such a manner as to make them a source of amusement. Rather is the book intended for those who, during their reading, frequently come across names which possess for them no meaning, and who care to read some old stories, through which runs the same humanity that their own hearts know. We might expect in the 21st century that the old gods of Greece and of Rome, the gods of our Northern forefathers, the gods of Egypt, the gods of the British race, might be forgotten. But even when we read in a newspaper of airplanes, someone is more than likely to quote the story of Icarus, the flyer, and in our daily speech the names of gods and goddesses continually crop up. We talk of "a panic," and forget that the great god Pan is father of the word. Here, the Author has endeavored to impart the pleasures of classical learning to the English reader, by presenting Greek and Latin myths (PYGMALION, PSYCHE, ICARUS...) in a form adapted to modern taste but also Celtic, Slavic, and Teutonic myths (BALDUR, BEOWULF, DEIRDRÊ...). Visit the table of contents to discover the wide range of subjects covered. Jean Lang interspersed the stories with her own commentary, and with quotations from writings by her contemporaries. This new edition (easy-to-read layout) contains illustrations or paintings.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A Book of Myths: Large Print By Jean Lang Just as a little child holds out its hands to catch the sunbeams, to feel and to grasp what, so its eyes tell it, is actually there, so, down through the ages, men have stretched out their hands in eager endeavour to know their God. And because only through the human was the divine knowable, the old peoples of the earth made gods of their heroes and not unfrequently endowed these gods with as many of the vices as of the virtues of their worshippers. As we read the myths of the East and the West we find ever the same story. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
