YAMonsters and Mythical Creatures series.
Blurring fact and fiction, each volume begins with an overview of the historical and cultural origins of the featured creature, followed by an analysis of that monster in literature, film, and other media. Some of the many supporting pictures (photographs, illustrations, movies stills) are poorly placed. "Did You Know?" boxes add interest. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers these Monsters and Mythical Creatures titles: Medusa, The Mummy, and Trolls.
