Reviews

Here the cultural history of an ancient people is revealed, beautifully, through myths, short lyrics, adventure tales, fables, romance, portraits, satire, semifictional biographies--all retain a remarkable freshness and power. In every way--in literary and vernacular works chosen, arrangement and annotation--this is an exemplary anthology.-- "Booklist"
