Atlas de mitos (Myth Atlas - Spanish Edition)

Ages 8 And Up

Step inside twelve magical mythological worlds. You might want to take a map.

But the maps in Myth Atlas are special: they show how twelve extraordinary cultures saw the world. For some it's a giant tree or an upside-down mountain. Others reckon we're living on the back of a giant turtle. All of them are fascinating. As you travel the world from Egypt to Japan, you'll meet an incredible array of gods, monsters, heroes and fantastical beasts. Just watch out for werewolves and banshees along the way . . . Myth Atlas is a magnificent gift book that will captivate children and adults alike.
