Really, really enjoyed Joe Campbell's work, but looking for other good authors in this vein.
I can Google up about 2 dozen but wanted to see what you guys and gals thought? Thanks.
It is not a 'discussion' book so much, the author does speak of the tales and stories. The book is a collection of myth, fairy tales and folklore.
'The Riverside Anthology of Children's Literature'
It is 'children's' stories because that is what many have become in modern times. But not all stories started out with that intent.
Might be a bit of a stretch 'in vain', but the books (may be a bit off with the titles), are 'Nothing In This Book Is True, But It's Exactly How Things Are' and 'Something In This Book Is True'.
I know I must have read it, because it's on my shelves with some pages dog-eared. Must have read it in the 90s, I would guess. But I can't remember if it was good or not, or if I liked the one I posted above better.
