The Compendium of Magical Beasts is a definitive field guide that
explores the anatomy of mythology's most elusive creatures,
compiling the findings of controversial early twentieth century
cryptozoologist, feminist, and explorer Dr. Veronica
Wigberht-Blackwater. Approaching the fantastic with a scientific
eye, Dr. Veronica explains the history, habits, and biology of each
creature's existence with equal attention to detail. Her research
is accompanied by stunning scientific illustrations of each
specimen's anatomy, providing a comprehensive view of creatures
most often dismissed as pure fantasy. Combining biological fact
with folklore, cultural studies, and history, this volume is
crucial to science both fringe and mainstream. Locked in a dusty
attic for almost a century, Dr. Wigberht-Blackwater's trailblazing
work was recently discovered by writer Melissa Brinks, who spent
months transcribing the journals she found. Brinks joined forces
with artist Lily Seika Jones to digitize the doctor's amazingly
detailed anatomical diagrams in order to share these revolutionary
findings with the world for the first time. The Bestiary: Mermaid,
Unicorn, Wild Man, Gnome, Werewolf, Troll, Fairy, Jackalope, Winged
Horse, Centaur, Minotaur, Vampire, Dragon, Sea Monsters/Loch
Ness/Kraken, Goblin, Sphinx, Phoenix, Harpy, Cyclops, Banshee,
