Cover of Butts Leverett Butts: Heroes with a Hundred Names (ePUB)

Author Robert Penn Warren’s fiction captures centuries worth of mythology and folklore from all across the globe–from Hebrew, Norse, Roman and Caribbean mythology, to Arthurian legends. This work explores the inspirations and hidden heroes in his works, beginning with his first novel, Night Rider, and extending through his fifth, Band of Angels. The fascinating ways, both blatant and obscure, that Warren incorporates religious practices and ancient legends into his early works are revealed.
