First, anything AMS writes is worth reading.
Second, this is part of a Myth Series published by Cannongate of Edinburgh Scotland from 2005 onwards, with some of the best authors from around the world. Try to find ALL of them. Brilliant idea to update some of the myths, extremely well executed in design, starting wtih Karen Armstrong, A short history of myth - nonfiction introducing the subject. Then Margaret Atwood, the Penelopiad, Ali Smith Girl meets Boy (Myth of Iphis), Victor Pelevin THe Helmet of Horror, Sally Vickers Where three roads meet (07) and AMS Dream Angus (05) who is an ancient celtic god of dreams - it was so good I had to buy the book to have my own personal copy.
Will definitely read this.
