Read The Structural Study of Myth first. It's short and pretty introductory to his work. Notice how the project of discerning underlying structures is a methodology he snaked from structural linguistics.

I think Father Christmas Executed is a good one after that. On the shorter side, wry, and one of those articles that I think really shows off how deft a thinker he was. There's a great quote by some other famous anthropologist of the 60s and 70s that reading Levi Strauss feels like you're being fooled by a conman because you just can't believe he pulled it all together like he did. Victor Turner maybe, but idr. You could probably google and find this article.

Structural Anthropology is a great introductory book though because it's all articles and organized into sections, so fairly easy to zero in on a topic and jump right in. Not a continuous argument like The Savage Mind is.

And after that, read Beyond Nature and Culture by Phillipe Descola. He now holds Levi-Strauss' professorship at the College de France. Chair of Anthropology I think. Anyway, it's one of the best works of anthropological theory of the 21st century and will give you an idea of current issues and problem spaces.

A four volume set on mythology? Not introductory imo. I haven't really read much of it myself tho, so I'm not as familiar.

You raise the question of how to approach The Raw and the Cooked though, which is one of hsi more famous pieces. Truth be told, I've never really understood it that well but think for an intro, it accomplishes the same things that The Structrual Study of Myth does. That is, show how to boil (no culinary pun intended) things down to consitutent concepts and make culturally salient points from those

I agree with your advising, though Beyond Nature and Culture isn't exactly an intro either!
