Greek and Roman mythology A to Z : a young reader's companion

This is a great book if you just need to look up some quick information on a Greek or Roman god. It does go into detail on some of the more important characters like Hercules, but most just have a few paragraphs. My main complaint is that even though it says "Greek AND ROMAN Mythology" about 75% of the characters covered are Greek in origin. It is nice that each character is labeled as either Greek or Roman though. This made writing my Roman Mythology paper much easier. A good book for anyone interested in Mythology :) This series explores the world's most important myths and legends in an accessible style designed for young readers. Each volume contains more than 400 entries on the major figures, places, stories and themes of a given mythology.
