Excellent translations and commentary
This is a nice slim book for those wishing to familiarize themselves with the main themes of Canaanite mythology and how the mythology of the Canaanites influenced that of their neighbors and successors the Hebrews, and therefore that of the modern West. The translations are great and readable, and the commentary is good, if a bit light.
