      A 'visionary . . . crisp and lucid exploration of myth-making' (DAVID MITCHELL) from the bestselling author of A History of God

      As long as we have been human, we have been mythmakers. In A Short History of Myth, Karen Armstrong holds up the mirror of mythology to show us the history of ourselves, and embarks on a journey that begins at a Neanderthal graveside and ends buried in the heart of the modern novel.

      Surprising, powerful and profound, A Short History of Myth examines the world''s most ancient art form - the making and telling of stories - and why we still need it.

      The Myths series brings together some of the world''s finest writers, each of whom has retold a myth in a contemporary and memorable way. Authors in the series include Karen Armstrong, Margaret Atwood, A.S. Byatt, David Grossman, Natsuo Kirino, Alexander McCall Smith, Philip Pullman, Ali Smith and Jeanette Winterson.
