Just buy it

This is a truly amazing book. The artwork is superb and the text is excellent. It combines legends from Babylon, Greece, Phoneican, Egyptian, Welsh, Scottish and English legends all crammed into one excellent and comprehensive guide. I can't say how great this book is. Just buy it and you will see

Great

This is an excellent book for all ages. It is highly illustrated with many different types of mythilogical creatures. These categories include: mythical birds, dragons and serpents, half-human creatures and mythilogical animals. The only problem is that it is fairly expensive for it's size but it's worth it. I paid $25 for it, well I should say my dad did but anyway it is an excellent book.

Beautiful pictures and excellent text
