Stories for everyone
There’s nothing like listening to stories that bring out your imagination. This book does it all. As a kid I listened to stories about unicorns but it was children’s stories. The stories here were from different cultures which made it more interesting. I used to be into dragons but again it was in children’s stories. After listening to the ones about dragons it brought back memories.

Unicorns and Dragons who could wish for more?
Really interesting compilation of mythologies! I thought I was going to be familiar with most of the dragon content but I was wrong. There were a lot of cool things that I never knew. Most of the unicorn content was new to me. The narration was really good.

Great stories, but weird combination
Usually the mythology collections have a single unifying theme, usually collected by culture. This collection, however, combines mythology surrounded dragons, the moon and unicorns. The themes are presented differently, with the dragon lore being in the form of stories and the rest having a traditional non-fiction, or research-based, presentation. It's like getting three unrelated books in one.
That is not to say that they are not each fantastic in their own way! The stories about the dragons are a lot of fun and our narrator has such a perfect storytelling manner for this section. When we move into hearing about the moon, however, it is a real mind tilt. I suggest the reading taking a break between listening to these two sections.
The moon mythology is comprehensive and comparative, which is very interesting. It takes a look at the moon from many aspects I never heard or thought of. The man in the moon, the woman in the moon, the frog in the moon, the rabbit in the moon, etc. Plus, the author compares each aspect from culture to culture, pointing out the many times similarities are seen between the mythology of peoples at opposite ends of the earth. The question of how these disparate peoples could have the same mythology is aptly posed. No answer, of course, is forthcoming.
Then come the unicorns. Ah, the unicorns. I never gave them much thought, but herein you will find much thought given to this mythical beast, comparing varieties of description in body parts, colors, etc. In some instances, explanations of how another creature could have been mis-seen instead are given. As with the moon, it is all so very interesting and comprehensive. With all the information given, I'm sure even the most educated listener will learn something new!
Now to our illustrious narrator, Mr. Markert. I do love his voice. As I said, he has an excellent story-telling style. When we move into the more detail-oriented books of the moon and unicorn, he is able to switch styles and narrate this information in a way that makes it engaging and easy to understand. I am also quite impressed with his ability to properly pronounce foreign words from a variety of languages. I was impressed long ago when hearing him pronounce Hawaiin and Asian language words, but now hearing him pronounce Germanic words with just as much ease shows his immense talent.
