Summary: Beware! This book will whisk you through worlds of magic and wonder. Here you'll find marvellous myths from round the globe. You'll meet heroes and heroines. And dragons and giants and three-headed monsters. Eek! But, don't panic! The ravens are here to guide you. They'll show you who's helpful and who's scary. They'll explain who might eat you as a snack. (That's very important.) And remember: mighty myths are always mighty fun.
