Description
Mythical Creatures Bible
The Definitive Guide to Legendary Beings
by Brenda Rosen
Fabulous animals, specters from the shadow world, nature spirits, and sacred beings: these are the monstrous, marvelous, and mythic creatures that have come down to us in folklore and legend.
Some probably have their origins in reality; others spring completely from the imagination—and they are all here, in this stunningly illustrated bible, Mythical Creatures Bible.
It’s rich in history and images, and international in scope, covering dragons and serpents; weird insects like the Aztec Itzpapalotl; zombies, golems, and banshees; the watery Undine; the Monkey King, Sun Wukong; and much, much more. A fascinating and informative work.
