What are myths? How have they evolved? And why do we still so desperately need them? A history of myth is a history of humanity, Karen Armstrong argues in this insightful and eloquent book: our stories and beliefs, our attempts to understand the world, link us to our ancestors and each other. This is a brilliant and thought-provoking introduction to myth in the broadest sense from Palaeolithic times to the Great Western Transformation of the last 500 years and why we dismiss it only at our peril.From the Trade Paperback edition.
