Webmaster may recommend a classic book retelling ancient myths and tales of European area . It is friendly and colorful , written like a bedtime story , with notable respect for the original myth . It focuses in the Greek Myths , but Roman and Norse ones can be found , all in an orderly narration .

Written by a woman of letters :   Mrs. Edith Hamilton

Titled :   MYTHOLOGY - Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes       ( first editions dated 1940 and 1942 )

The three following books should be exactly the same , including the handmade drawings ..   The latest edition May 1991 , Mass Market Paperback , Price approx. $5.60 US , ISBN 0-451-62803-9 .  I have this in the 1977 reprint , 336 pages.   Another edition is the 1989 Paperback , approx. $10.50 US , ISBN 0-452-00985-5 .   The latest Paperback is scheduled for 1998 , 512 pages , approx. $10.50 US , ISBN 0-316-34151-7 .
