(3) 4-6 Short, encyclopedic overviews introduce mythological and folkloric creatures from around the world, including dragons, griffins, and sphinxes. Some, but not all, entries cite literary primary sources; some detail Western and Eastern incarnations of similar entities. Each creature receives a double-page color illustration (by one of eight contributing artists) and occasionally additional spot art. A good beginner's bestiary of magical creatures. Glos.
