If not Green Cheese, What?/17 The Mating of the G o d s / 1 7.Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca Attack the Goddess/11.The Frost Giants and the Creation of the World/8.Out o f Chaos, Vast and Dark / 1 Tales of Creation and Destruction/1 Tales of Dismemberment/3 Most of all, I want to thank Reid Boates and Jon Winokur, who have been supportive, entertaining, and helpful from beginning to end my mother, Hannah Berman, who provided the drawings on pages 19, 66, 86, 91, 95, 103, 120, 162, 2 1 2, 2 1 7, 2 2 3, and 295 and my husband, George Sussman, who sustained me in every way. I am grateful to Rona Berg, Virginia Hooper, Jim Solomon, and everyone at the New York Society Library to Helen Abbott, Sharon Bronte, and Diana Rico and to Margo Kaufman, whose observations about writing (and everything else) never failed to make me laugh. Production editor Jennifer Kobylarz, designer Nancy Resnick, and assistant production manager Grace Veras also merit praise, as does picture researcher Gillian Speeth. Jennifer Ehmann has been perspicacious and kind: a rare combination, and not only among editors.
