I am searching for some books that are about mythology, folklore and (urban) legends. It can be any kind of books from gods to monsters or what so ever.
My favorite is *Norse Mythology* by Neil Gaiman. It’s retellings of the classic Norse legends but in modern language.

Macunaima by Mario de Andrade is a wonderful Brazilian classic that is a blend of different Amazonian myths and legends. The King Tide translation has footnotes with the actual folktales that were incorporated into the novel.
