Tales from Heaven and Earth series.
Translated by Gwen Marsh.
Each book focuses on one religion (Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and more) and retells some of its important stories. Small, detailed illustrations reflect the style of art found in the stories' settings. The retellings are uneven--often wordy and confusing--but the sidebars and back matter that give more details about the religions themselves are useful and provide information that isn't widely available.
