review 1: I got this book for references and inspiration as well as loving to study mythological creatures. This would be a good book for a ton of creatures' descriptions that could lead on to more research about a subject. It also had a lot more of the creatures that I didn't know much about and was very well organized, like "shape-shifters", "demons", "fabulous animals", and "creatures of the bible" to name a few, as well as an index in the back if you're looking for something specific.Not what I expected, but I'm glad I bought it.I would recommend this for someone who wanted a lot of small yet thorough descriptions on a plethora of creatures, but not for someone who is looking for something really in depth, even though it covers the main bits about the creat... moreures.
review 2: Love this!A broad but comprehensive overview of interesting myths and legends. Maybe I'm biased as well but I think the American myths are very D: and less colourful than the rest of the world. Really interesting also to learn that there are 9 types of Chinese dragons. Everything is symbolic of course.My favourites so far:OuroborosCentaursThe entire chapter on Water dwelling creatures EgyptianGreek/edit the middle of the book was a little meh to me (demons,animal myth creatures)- pace picked up with the Egyptian and Greek and Meso(can't spell the entire word) and Chinese, Hindu creators of the world, deities and such.8) less
