The book reads almost like a mythological encyclopedia of all kinds of unique creatures. The author does a fabulous job of not only throw in in tidbits that almost seems like secrets but also identifies the local lore and the geographical history of the particular creature. You will find all sorts of information and inspirational details about various magical creatures like dragons, gorgos, minotarus, hydras, kraken, trolls, baba yaga (my all time favourite), bigfoot, rumpelstiltskin, behemoth, gargantua, godzilla, werewolves and macbeth's witches. The drawings and physiological details are very focused and informative. The author also explains how the mythology might have come from, ie dragons from prehistoric dinosaur bones that people in the middle ages just did not understand. But at the same time takes such attention to detail when writing and explaining it's almost as of its a real research book to educate you on these fantastical creatures. Different cultures take on dragons was absolutely eye opening and totally something i wasn't aware of. The author does a fabulous job of educating in a fun and playful manner. I particularly loved the little did you know tidbits. A little story and background of adventure on every creature in the book - an absolute treasure! Great addition to any fantastical library!
