  • Engaging and insightful

    What a powerful combination- Moyers and Campbell! This paperback, heavily illustrated book contains much wisdom. The documentary was fascinating, but so is this book of Moyers interviewing Campbell. Myth is so much more than myth; myth contains history, religion, global belief systems, and diverse cultures. The interested reader may grow from this enjoyable, not too complicated, special book.
