This book this divided into three volumes. It is the ultimate guide to Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Nordic mythology. This series has all the details that you would require to master the subject of mythology. Since I have always found Mythology to be very interesting, I was looking for a book that would have everything related to it.

Bulfinch's mythology was one book that was highly recommended by my college professor and the reviews on the internet were also very good. Bulfinch has given a lot of references and part from that there are many historical facts to back the data. The detailed account from the time creation took place to how it will all end. It has everything. It is like a dictionary for mythology lovers.

I personally love his writing style which makes it an interesting read. I purchased it from flipkart and it is totally worth the price. Instead of going through several books on mythology just get this series which has everything related to mythology in it.
