Primarily known for its extensive coverage of Greek and Roman mythology (The Age of Fable), detailing the stories of gods, goddesses, and heroes. The book also includes sections on Norse mythology, the legends of King Arthur and his knights (The Age of Chivalry), and the legends surrounding Charlemagne. Bulfinch's work is a retelling and compilation of these ancient stories, making them accessible to a wider audience.

It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the rich tapestry of mythology and its influence on Western literature and culture.
