God by Any Other Name

God by Any Other Name 
Have you ever wondered why the story of the first man and woman, and their untimely fall from the paradise they inhabited, appears in so many forms from vastly different cultural backgrounds? From the Christian Bible story of Adam and Eve to the Arabic story of how Adam lost Eden, to the African version in which man is cast out of Litoma, the similarities are uncanny.

Likewise, a surprising number of cultures and languages have their own version of the story of the flood, in which the deity decides to preserve a chosen man, his wife and family, and all the earth's animals in breeding pairs, from a god-made deluge that wipes out all the other inhabitants of the planet. Could this mean that such a flood really did once take place?

And if you think you are unshockable, try reading the myth of Men and Monkeys - you will be in for a big surprise!

Christina Sewell displays these myths and legends in a multi-levelled storybook for readers of any age. Read and enjoy them as beautiful stories in their own right, or be aware of the universal themes throughout and make of that what you will.
