The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Beloved of the Gods

    I think it's safe to say that this book is what started my love of mythology. After I read this book, I also picked up Norse Gods and Goddesses by the same author, and moved on to other sources from there. But this has a special place for me b/c it is the "starting spark" of my interest. The beautifully illustrated pages and the flowing narratives make this a fantastic read. By the time you put it down, you're sorry it's all over. To this day, I refer back to this book for names of gods and goddesses or some simple info. :) A library couldn't be complete w/o a D'Aularie's in it! ^_^ Lord Azrael,

  • These are two remarkable authors....have been favorites of my family for many years.

    Quality work.
