We have always conjured up beings that are not in our image-from flying horses to fire-breathing dragons-as well as ones that are-from giants to mermaids. In these pages you will meet fantastic beings from Hindu and Navajo religions, Scandinavian tales, Russian folklore, American tall tales, Aztec myth, and more.

"Recommended for public and school libraries where similar references are used." - Library Journal "A place to begin comparative studies that require basic identification, definition, and location." - Choice "... The coverage is truly worldwide, from the North American Sasquatch to the Australian serpent Aranda that drags its victims into the billabongs ... To assist the researcher, every entry cites reference tools and anthologies that include that particular creature ... Highly recommended for public and academic libraries." - Lawrence Looks at Books
