Bullfinch's Mythology
Jane Yolan has also
written a book called Touch Magic, which is about literacy, and is a
wonderful book to read.
Duncan Williamson is a legend of Scottish stories. Any book of his is
worth getting. Unfortunately many are out of print. Not the one (at
this point) above!
Kevin Crossley-Holland is another prolific folklorist. He has a children's
version of the Norse Myths, but it is an edited version of the one mentioned
above. All things by Crossley-Holland are definitely worth a look at.
The Beowulf version I have listed is for juvenile readers and is very
accessible although there are many different translations.
