In The Beginning

In the Beginning: Creation Stories from Around the World In the Beginning: Creation Stories from Around the World by Virginia Hamilton


My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I wanted to love this book. The artwork for each story is amazing and concept of the book is wonderful. I just couldn't get past the staccato prose used to tell each creation myth. Even though it's targeted at young adults I expected more flowery storytelling given the grandeur and scope of the myths.
