Publisher's Synopsis
For centuries, we have used myths, fairy tales and folklore to explain life's mysteries and elucidate human nature. Bringing a fresh perspective to these age-old tales, Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke reveal how we can find comfort and support on our own life journeys in the legends of the past. Divided into sections focussing on specific life areas, more than 50 myths from various cultural traditions - including Greco-Roman, Hebraic, Egyptian, Celtic, Norse and Eastern - are beautifully retold, exploring the associated psychological themes and revealing how the stories apply to our own lives.
