A Short History of Myth
4 journalers for this copy...
This is a fabulous little book and well worth the read if you enjoy mythology.
Book description from Indigo.ca:
What are myths? How have they evolved? And why do we still so desperately need them? A history of myth is a history of humanity, Karen Armstrong argues in this insightful and eloquent book: our stories and beliefs, our attempts to understand the world, link us to our ancestors and each other. This is a brilliant and thought-provoking introduction to myth in the broadest sense – from Palaeolithic times to the “Great Western Transformation” of the last 500 years – and why we dismiss it only at our peril.

caught at local meetup
Taking to book crossing meetup to give to next reader. (Cravings meet up Jan 2023.)
Taking to the March meeting!
My apologies for not journaling this book after bringing it home after our March Meet up. I hope that it climbs up to the top of my TBR Mountain Range soon as I do like myths and legends!
