This beautifully illustrated edition gathers together myths and legends from every corner of the globe. The stories seethe with intrepid characters and a rich pageant of gods and monsters. Superheroes, strange beasts and beautiful women overcome perilous obstacles, pit themselves against raging elements and visit fabulous lands. Some of the classic quest tales include Thor's epic journey to Utgard, the quest for the Holy Grail, Gilgamesh's attempt to conquer death, and the seven voyages of Sindbad. Background information to the tales is also included to provide a superb context for young students.

Master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a breathtaking collection of tales for younger readers that may chill or amuse, but that always embrace the unexpected: Humpty Dumpty's sister hires a private detective to investigate her brother's death. A teenage boy who has trouble talking to girls finds himself at a rather unusual party. A boy raised in a graveyard makes a discovery, and confronts the much more troubling world of the living.
