The Mythical Creatures Bible: The Definitive Guide to Legendary Beings Volume 14 by Rosen, Brenda

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. 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. Author: Brenda RosenPublisher: Union Square & Co.Published: 02/01/2009Pages: 400Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 1.38lbsSize: 6.68h x 6.18w x 1.00dISBN: 9781402765360
