I really enjoyed the narration from each of the lecturers who really paint a vivid picture of how rich and important story telling is to all cultures around the world.

I feel that even though it really is informative and diverse, I still feel that some really important mythology was left out. That of the Central Asians, Mongolians, Slavs and Siberians are the ones most noticeably missing and I really was looking forward to retelling of these. Nonetheless, what we are given is extremely detailed and engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

An interesting retelling of history, culture and myth

Insightful, hilarious and wonderful. Worth the money. Some of the narration could be a bit better but the content and expertise more than make up for it.

Great entertaining reader/lecturer. One criticism though, re. Irish mythology, It's pronounced Coo-CULL-aan. (Sorry but that was painful on the ears 😂)

Really entertaining and educational.
