The Hidden World of Magical Creatures

There are creatures that live on the very edges of our imagination.

In woodland, over sea, on the highest peaks of the world, and in the darkest caves, these mythological beasts, fierce monsters and helpful spirits have inspired countless stories, poems, and films. This book will tell you where these creatures dwell, how to spot one, and how to keep yourself safe.

Humorously written by bestselling author Maz Evans and sumptuously illustrated by Hans Christian Andersen Award-winning artist Robert Inpgen, this is the perfect book for fans of myth and magic.
