Mythical Creature Bible by Brenda Rosen

Fantastic animals, shadow spectres, nature spirits, and holy beings: these are the hideous, fantastic, and mythological creatures that have passed down to us via folklore and tradition. Some are likely based on truth, while others are entirely fictitious - and they're all here, in this beautifully illustrated book. It covers dragons and serpents, strange insects like the Aztec Itzpapalotl, zombies, golems, and banshees, the aquatic Undine, the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, and much, much more. A intriguing and educational study.
