Ancient Mythologies

Through colourful characters such as Buddha, Krishna, Zarathrustra, Gilgamesh, Isis and Osiris mankind\'s development from hunters of wild animals to builders og magnificent cities and the great pyramids springs to life. Yet beyond the historical narrative the stories reveal an ancient wisdom: the timeless source and substance out of which all myths and legends are woven.

Charles Kovacs was a teacher at the Edinburgh Rudolf Steiner School and the stories in this volume were told to his Class 5 (ten-year-old) pupils. Although intended as source material for teachers and parents of Waldorf School children, the stories have a universal appeal for children aged nine to twelfe years.
