Brief Guide to Native American Myths and Legends by Lewis Spence Lewis Spence
These myths and legends are so different from what I'm used to, there is so much randomness going on, or what seems random to someone like me.

Legends and Romances of Brittany by Lewis Spence
It's a mix of storytelling and nonfiction (criticism).

........................

The old stories aren’t all goodness and light, but they have a certain dark grandeur to them.

.........................

The stories are diverse, containing much of the good and bad of both traditions.
