About the Author

Thomas Bulfinch (1796-1867) was educated at Boston Latin, Phillips Exeter, and Harvard. A clerk in the Merchant's Bank of Boston who wrote books in his spare time, he was the first to create a popular compendium of ancient myths and legends.

Mary Woods began her career in Washington, DC, where she performed at Ford's Theater, the Folger Theater, Round House, and Washington Stage Guild. She spent several seasons at New Playwrights' Theater developing new American plays. She is a veteran narrator of Talking Books for the Library of Congress, and received the Alexander Scourby Narrator of the Year Award for fiction in 1996. Formerly a radio news director, she now hosts a daily local affairs interview program on Catholic Radio, for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. She lives in Albuquerque, where she continues to act on stage and in film. She received her BA at the Catholic University of America in Fine Arts and Drama.

Editorial Reviews

[Mary Woods] read[s] in a clear and pleasant voice without attempting to inject drama where there is none.”

Audiofile

Without a knowledge of mythology much of the elegant literature of our own language cannot be understood and appreciated…Our book is an attempt to solve this problem, by telling the stories of mythology in such a manner as to make them a source of amusement.”
