This was one of the first books we bought from this author and let me tell you it got us hooked. The pictures and stories are written almost as a guide. It tells you things about the beast such as their behavior, temperament and where they are found. We are seeking more books from this author I have even bought this book as a gift.
This book was actually pretty good. It left a few things unanswered so you were left wondering about certain people, other than that it was great. Beautiful illustrations, mysterious information, and unusual artifacts made this book a blast to read.
