Myths & Legends de Philip Wilkinson
Beautiful edition. Great reflection of how myths come about, why certain myths are retold in different societies through human history, and a breakdown of myths themselves from all around the ancient world.
First sentence: Three, two, one--blastoff! With a great roar, the Apollo 11 rocket lifted off the ground. Flames and smoke poured from its base as it started its dangerous journey to the Moon. President John F. Kennedy had promised an American would reach the Moon before the end of the 1960s. The astronauts could make history!
