Book Reviews of Mythical Creatures Bible (Godsfield Bible Series)
Book Review: A fantastic little book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked up my own copy of The Mythical Creatures Bible, and I do not regret it now that I've had the chance to do more than skim over it.
What makes this book particularly better than some of the others I had the opportunity to buy was not the quantity of the creatures listed, but the quality of the book itself. On every other page is a breath-taking illustration of a creature to accompany the information it gives. Not every beast gets a picture, but that doesn't detract from it at all.
It's a rather small book in dimensions, so it doesn't unload a whole lot of information, but I think what got me was that I didn't know some of the creatures even existed! So now that I'm aware of some of them, I can look up them up a little bit more! It's a great book to spark interest in other cultures and the monsters of their folklore and to do more research yourself.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves mythology.
