Description
And you thought unicorns were fabulous? Well, of course they are, but did you know how many other weird and wonderful mythical beasts are out there waiting to be discovered?
From dragons and wyverns to vampires, werewolves, and mischievous gremlins, pixies, and fairies, Breverton's Phantasmagoria is a unique compendium of over 250 mythical animals.
Prepare to revisit familiar myths, such as vampires, werewolves, the Loch Ness Monster, the Minotaur, and Medusa from Greek legend, as well as Biblical beasts like Behemoth and Leviathan. Discover new mysterious animals like the giant serpents of Central America, the lethal Mongolian death worm, and the Ennedi tiger in Africa, and investigate the evidence for sightings of Bigfoot and the reclusive Yeti.
Packed with quirky line illustrations and a wealth of weird and wonderful information, Breverton's Phantasmagoria surveys the globe to uncover over 250 imaginary creatures passed down from generation to generation.
