Review: Stimulating bedtime stories : This classic book on clasaical mythology is exceptionally well written. Each story is short, most only a page or two. The adventures are succinctly presented and the language used adds considerably to the readability and excitement of the myths. As one untrained in mythology, I have often found Greek plays and Homer to be obscure. But now, I can reread those classics with far greater understanding. For those, like me, who have an interest in Greece and Roman, but whose background is in other fields, Bulfinch's "Mythology" is an outstanding nightly read. Just a few stories at a time will suffice, and you will delight in the endeavor for many a month.
