Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

The narration by Samantha Desz sets the stage for an engaging listen from start to finish. Her voice is clear and expressive, perfectly complementing the diverse array of stories within this anthology. In particular, Madeleine L’Engle’s contribution stands out as a profound meditation on the nature of myths themselves. The pacing, while deliberate, never drags; each story feels like a well-paced journey through different mythologies. However, some tales felt slightly underdeveloped, such as Gregory Maguire's retelling, which didn't fully capitalize on its potential for humor and insight. Despite this minor critique, The Mythic Dream remains a compelling exploration of myths and their enduring relevance in modern storytelling.
