"one of those gimongo books that will ALWAYS be on my currently reading shelf, because its just a bunch of entries on magical creatures, and im not going to sit down and read more than 800 pages of creatures from all around the world. great reference book. =)"
"What I like is that not only do you get information about monsters, totem animals, etc, but there are small folk stories from various cultures about many of these magical animals. There are also a lot of critters most folk have never heard of, as well as a surprising 'magical' status for animals you wouldn't have thought."
