4-6Fantasy Chronicles series.
These accessible but uneven texts give overviews of how elements of fantasy developed while discussing their roles in history and the modern world. Though perhaps too focused on the West, the books do include some creatures and conjurers from around the globe. Illustration reproductions include early representations of magical creatures and contemporary cartoonish ones. Reading list. Bib., ind. Review covers these Fantasy Chronicles titles: cf2]Wizards and Witches, Fairies and Elves, and Fantastical Creatures and Magical Beasts.
