BEASTS AND CREATURES MYTHS AND TALES (HB)

With their weird combination of animal limbs, or distorted visions of human perception, beasts and creatures can be found in all myths and legends of the world, often used to demonstrate moral or fabulistic stories and explain extreme natural phenomena. This collection includes some of the most famous and recognisable beasts, with some insight too into the rare and the little known - from the Simurgh – the gigantic mythical bird of Persian mythology and literature – to the monstrous Great Head of Iroquois folklore, alongside many, many more.
