Summary
Takes us from the Palaeolithic period and the myths of the hunters right up to the 'Great Western Transformation' over years and the discrediting of myth by science. This book aims to serve as a thought-provoking introduction to myth in the broadest sense - and why we dismiss it only at our peril.
