1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Hero Tales and Legends of the RhineBy Birgit MatzerathI grew up with these tales in Germany, and was looking for a good summary/translation in English. The selection gives a great overview over the tales, covers all the well known ones and also gives some useful historical back ground information.It will be necessary to make some stylistic changes though, in order to bring some of them into a format to be read at a presentation. This is something I would have liked to have known beforehand.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy JSthanks !!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

About the AuthorAbout the Author: "James Lewis Thomas Chalmbers Spence (November 25, 1874 - March 3, 1955) was a Scottish journalist, folklorist, poet and occult scholar.A prolific writer, Spence has been credited in reviving the study of Scottish folklore. After an early career in as a journalist, about 1906 he began to take a keen interest folklore and mythology. He wrote about Brythonic rites and traditions in The Mysteries of Britain (1905). In this book, Spence theorized that the original Britons were descendants of a people that migrated from Northwest Africa and were probably related to the and the Basques-this claim is being supported by recent DNA studies.He then turned to ancient Mexican and Central American mythology. In 1908, he published The Popul Vuh, the sacred book of the Quiche Mayas. This was followed by A Dictionary of Mythology in 1910 and numerous additional volumes.Spence's researches into the mythology and culture of the New World, together with his examination of the cultures of western Europe and north-west Africa, led him almost inevitably onto the question of . During the 1920s he published a series of books which sought to rescue the topic from the occultists who had more or less brought it into disrepute. These works, amongst which were The Problem of Atlantis (1924) and History of Atlantis (1927), continued the line of research inaugurated by Ignatius Donnelly and looked at the lost island as a Bronze Age civilization, a civilization which formed a cultural link with the New World, and which was invoked by him (as also by Donnelly earlier) as an explanation for the striking parallels between the early civilizations of the Old and New Worlds. Spence's erudition and scholarship was impressive; yet the conclusions he reached have been almost universally rejected by mainstream scholarship. Nevertheless, he seems to have had some influence upon the ideas of controversial author , whose work continues to cause intense argument and rancorous debate.Spence's 1940 book Occult Causes of the Present War seems to have been the first book in the field of Nazi occultism.Over his long career, he published more than forty books, many of which remain in print to this day. Spence was also the founder of the Scottish National..." (Quote from wikipedia.org)
