A wonderfully fun romp through that strange world of College

MYTHOLOGY 101 manages to capture more than a bit of its elven protagonists' magic and capture it in the pages. You can't go wrong with Little Folk secretly tutoring students in the library stacks. The people are nicely drawn, with everyone from the main characters to the briefest of "walk-on" parts coming across as three-dimensional. Can't wait to find the rest of the series.

Excellent!

There's really no other way to put it: This book is just plain fun. I should have been so lucky as to have had such experiences when I was at University. Elves, magic, librarians, bullies, and an irrepressiblly good-natured college student make for an highly enjoyable romp through might-have-been. (Or perhaps "might-be" if there's any justice in the world.) There are at least two sequels in the 'Mythology' universe, 'Mythology Abroad,' and (I think) 'Higher Mythology.' I highly recommend this title, 'Mythology 101,' for light reading when you need something cheery and humourous. Definitely rated 'G.'
