Description
|
|
|
|
An update of Elizabeth Pepper's classic Magical Creatures, featuring Animals Tame, Animals Wild, and Animals Fabulous, this edition includes a new section of mythical animals, in which a lady shape-shifts into a white doe, an elephant struggles with a crocodile, and two bears soar skyward. Along with dragons, centaurs, owls, and salamanders, this magical bestiary also contains some unexpected additions; for example, Greek myths associate the pig with purity and protection from evil spirits. The book outlines the origin of the animals, their mythological and magical significance, and their role in the popular imagination, illustrated with woodcuts and engravings.
