A reference to legendary beings across traditions

Brenda Rosen’s illustrated guide gathers creatures from folklore and legend, ranging from dragons and serpents to golems, banshees, nature spirits, and sacred beings. Its international scope brings together figures such as the Aztec Itzpapalotl, the watery Undine, and Sun Wukong, the Monkey King. The book also distinguishes, in its framing, between beings that may have roots in reality and those born wholly of imagination. With historical context and images, it serves as a broad survey of the varied forms these legendary figures take across traditions.

Book overview

Fabulous animals, specters from the shadow world, nature spirits, and sacred beings: these are the monstrous, marvelous, and mythic creatures that have come down to us in folklore and legend. Some probably have their origins in reality; others spring completely from the imagination--and they are all here, in this stunningly illustrated bible. It's rich in history and images, and international in scope, covering dragons and serpents; weird insects like the Aztec Itzpapalotl; zombies, golems, and banshees; the watery Undine; the Monkey King, Sun Wukong; and much, much more. A fascinating and informative work.
