The Mythology of All Races is a series of thirteen volumes covering mythology world-wide, originally published between 1916 and 1932.  It has been reissued at least twice.Some volumes covered mythology for only one group, others covered two groups which might be completely unrelated and be treated by different authors.   The volumes contain numerous illustrations, usually in black-and-white.   The thirteenth volume is a detailed index to the other twelve; they are not separately indexed.The Library of Congress cataloged the individual volumes (except the index) under the name of the mythology, but also  cataloged the entire thirteen volume set.   In addition, the individual volumes are sometimes cataloged under the general title Mythology of All Races with either the name of the mythology(s) or the volume number (in either Arabic or Roman numerals) to distinquish them.To add to the confusion, the individual volumes are sometimes cataloged under the general editor Louis Herbert Gray, rather than the individual authors.  Good luck trying to pull all the variant catalog records together into works!
