I was promised new!!
29 July 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
well, they promised me "NEW" but this book is far from being new. Marking all over the book means it's not new, the cover torn at some parts means that this isn't new!!
Fantastic stories with helpful commentary.
5 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
The short stories here are all interesting and an excellent account of the different types of hero journies that people can undertake. They are uplifting and inspiring. Tney are all helpful in the study of human strength as well as frailty, and all readers will be able to identify with one or many of the stories.
