This is a review of the folk-lore of animals, mostly of a legendary
or purely symbolic nature, particularly as appearing in English
Heraldry. It's a gold-mine of lore about such fantastic beasts as
the hydra, the basilisk, the phoenix, as well as angels, dragons,
mermaids, sphynxes and so on. Vinycomb also covers heraldic
versions of actual animals, such as the 'Tyger, ' and the Heraldic
Pelican and Dolphin. Included are over a hundred illustrations of
fantastic creatures. Overall, a delight for browsing
