The Thematic Guide to World Mythology is a textbook that explores common themes found in the myths of a broad range of world cultures. I created block prints to illustrate each of the book’s 30 chapter headers; each chapter focuses on a specific theme such as the afterlife, culture heroes, monsters, or the underworld. The book was written by Lorena Stookey, who is a professor of English at the University of Nevada (and also my sister); it was published by Greenwood Press in 2004.
