Featuring a gold-foil-embossed cloth cover, a ribbon marker and
sprayed gold edges, this gorgeous volume is filled with beautiful
illustrations and precise notes detailing the secret lives of
magical beasts. Tales of magical creatures have been told across
the world for generations... but are these stories merely flights
of fancy, or is there any truth to the legends of unicorns and
dragons, centaurs and griffins? Presented as the notebook of a
1920s zoologist, this lavish volume sets out to answer this
question, revealing the hidden world of the magical beasts that
live among us. Within these pages you will meet bizarre and
beautiful creatures from around the globe, discovering their
habits, habitats and the legends surrounding them. Learn about the
anatomy of a unicorn, the life cycle of a phoenix, incredible
dragon courtship dances and much more in this ultimate guide to
magical creatures. This exquisitely illustrated album will entrance
all true-believers and fantasy enthusiasts. Following on from A
Natural History of Fairies, A Natural History of Magick and A
Natural History of Mermaids, this vintage notebook is part of the
Folklore Field Guides series: a charming collection of beautifully
illustrated compendiums on topics of lore and legend. Fascinating
facts are accompanied by breathtaking illustrations, all presented
in an engaging narrative form.
