Review

The Mythical Quest is a superbly illustrated introduction to ten fascinating quest tales, including The Epic of Gilgamesh; Jason and the Quest for the Golden Fleece; The Homecoming of Odysseus; The Tale of Cupid and Psyche; The Legendary Journeys of Alexander the Great; The Seven Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor; Rama's Quest for Sita; Journey to the West; The Life of St. Brendan; and The Quest for the Holy Grail. These epic quests are retold in a lively and accessible short tale formats by Rosalind Kerven, who also describes how they have been interpreted and passed down over the centuries. Penelope Lively's introduction discusses our fascination with quest myths and some of the common themes which have permeated the storytelling of so many cultures. With additional notes on the sources of the spectacular illustrations, and suggestions for Further Reading, The Mythical Quest is an ideal introduction for anyone coming to these quest stories for the first time, or seeking to find out more about the background to a familiar mythical tale. An outstanding volume, highly recommended for personal, school, and public library collections. -- Midwest Book Review
