Iggy here:

You could also try some of the Egyptian, Norse, and Native American myths.
(Erdoes and Ortiz collected a wonderful set of the last kind in their book,
"Native American Myths and Legends.")  He might also like some of the Asian
myths and legends from Japan or China.


Just a few more ideas inspired by other replies...
