Description:

Bulfinch’s Mythology collects Thomas Bulfinch’s three major works, The Age of Fable, The Age of Chivalry and Legends of Charlemagne. Together they retell stories from Greek and Roman mythology, Arthurian legend, medieval romance and the heroic traditions associated with Charlemagne.

Written to make classical and medieval mythology accessible to general readers, Bulfinch’s work became one of the most influential English-language introductions to Western myth and legend. This substantial Modern Library volume offers a broad reference for readers of mythology, folklore, literature and traditional storytelling.
