Descripción:
London: J. M. Dent, 1980. Hardback quarto, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), colour cartoons, minor edgewear. 160 pp. A natural cartoon history by Michael Ridley of those little mythological critters who cause untold disarray and mayhem - The Gremlin. Illustrated endpapers by Bryan Neary. In fact the whole book is lavishly illustrated with various forms of gremlinhood by Neary. By using a new scientific instrument - the gremelscope - Ridley and Neave document the social behaviour and philosophy of gremlins. By the making of this invisible world visible, the is book will undoubtedly become more important than Charles Darwin's 'Origin of the Species'.

London: Trubner & Co., 1874. 1st ed.. Hardback small octavo, no jacket, good condition, dark green embossed pictorial boards, gilt lettering front cover & spine, gilt border front cover, spine ends slightly worn, light foxing & rubbing edges, pages lightly toned, front hinge partly split (pages firm), covers little rubbed, flyleaves toned, some edgewear corners, errata slip tipped in, owner's name label inside front cover. 279 pp. Tegner's remarkable poem has been translated into almost every European language. The translator has produced an epic which is in the hearts of the Northern nations. He has written copious notes, although simple, and a brief abstract of the Northern Mythology, taken principally from the two Eddas. He hopes to succeed in introducing, to those unacquainted with the Northern lore, the hero-gods of the ancient Vikings. The glossary, at the end of the book, is worthy and useful. The abstract (p233), the preface to Canto XXIV (p208), may also be helpful to…

New York: Penguin Compass / Penguin Group, 1993. 35th reprint ed.. Paperback trade, very good condition, bottom corner rear cover creased, minor edgewear, otherwise excellent. 276 pp. These 12 seminal essays by Joseph Campbell have been selected from 25 radio talks given to the Cooper Union Forum, New York, between 1958 to 1971. What is a properly functioning mythology and what are its functions? Can we use myths to help relieve our modern anxiety, or do they help foster it? Campbell explores the enduring power of the universal myths that influence our lives daily and examines the myth-making process from the primitive past to the immediate present, always returning to the source from which all mythology springs: the creative imagination.

Novato, CA: New World Library, 2013. 1st p/b ed.. Paperback wide octavo, very good condition, top corner front flyleaf little thinned & scuffed (sticker removed), minor edgewear. 402 pp. In 1944, a young professor of mythology and literature named Joseph Campbell (prior to his subsequent fame), and working with novelist and poet Henry Morton Robinson, wrote the first guide to understanding the fascinating world of 'Finnegans Wake' by James Joyce. Their book outlines the basic action of this classic Irish novel by James Joyce, simplifies and clarifies the complex web of psychological images and allusions, and provides an understandable, continuous narrative from which the reader can venture further. This edition includes a foreword and updates by Joyce scholar Dr. Edmund L. Epstein that add the context of 60 subsequent years of scholarship.
