This compelling volume provides an exciting pictorial archive of the imaginary animals and monsters that existed in ancient man's fertile imagination.

Here, too, are such legendary beasts as unicorns, the Sphinx, the Centaur, the plumed serpent-bird of the Aztecs, as well as real animals once associated with magical or supernatural powers. An invaluable source of permission-free art, this fascinating volume will appeal to anyone interested in the myths and legends of fantastic creatures.
