About this audiobook
Highlights presents A Gathering of Stories adapted by Ruth Siburt. Before telescopes, before carbon dating, before behavioral science, there was story. Stories explained the mysterious. They served as entertainment. They provided examples of how to (or not to) live within a society. They were passed from generation to generation, and they live on today as myths and legends.
