What people are saying - Write a reviewReview: The Macmillan Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Myths & LegendsUser Review - Hagar - GoodreadsVery nice book. Precise and quite short. It didn't talk about some legends, like the ones from North Africa, but that's maybe the writer decision to focus on certain myths and not others. Very good read for people who wish to have a general knowledge on this subject.
