Primal Myths: Creation Myths Around the World

A comprehensive collection of creation stories ranging across widely varying times and cultures, including Ancient Egyptian, African, and Native American. "A well-chosen collection, from good sources, well presented for use either as an introduction to the study of mythology or as a convenient reference work and refresher of memory." —Joseph Campbell "Any extensive exploration of mythology will reveal how incredibly heterogeneous human culture is. I know of no book that shows this better than Barbara Sproul's Primal Myths. . . . There is enough charm and truth in this book to allow you to fall in love with humanity again." —San Francisco Chronicle's Whole Earth Catalog "An anthology devoted to myths of creation has long been needed and the selection in this volume is first-rate. A valuable introduction to the variegated ways in which humanity has conceived and remembered its relation to the sacred origin and core of existence." —Parabola
