Introduction

––––––––

This is volume 2 of World Mythology Lite. I had no intention of there being two volumes of this book originally but it is what it is. The first volume was getting long so I stopped it at around 250 pages to go to print. Then I decided to research the idea of a second volume if there was enough material. The two smaller volumes may eventually get combined. Thanks.
