A Dictionary of World Mythology

love the book but the font was small, i'm old, it looked small to me.

This is a useful and readable dictionary especially for young students. It surveys myths of the whole world , of course not completely but most of important deities are included except Allah, Iesus Khristos and YHWH. However many Japanese people are not probably contented with the scantiness of Japanese entries ,and some of these articles are doubtful or uncertain about their sources--- e.g. In the item of FUJIYAMA there is a famous story of KAGUYAHIME maybe based on a classical Japanese literature "Taketori-monogatari", but the story narrated here is very different from the original texts , so I wonder on which version the author took the authority and from what folktale Mr.Cotterell cited this story , I would like to know. I hope that the editor of dictionary should indicate titles & chapter of sources or reference texts at the end of each item.
