Story
“The First Phenomenal Encyclopedia of Mythical Creatures”
Meet the most peculiar, funny, dazzling, repulsive, and dangerous creatures. Did you know you can tame a dragon with milk? That a griffin is a hopeless romantic? That there is only one phoenix in the whole world? And are you familiar with the Japanese keukegen? This mythical creature looks like a small, long-haired dog desperately in need of a bath. You’ll find it in houses that are never cleaned.
The demon Mahaha? This giggling being roams the polar plains, always searching for a victim to tickle to death. The squonk? This North American creature is the saddest mythical being in the world. Want to catch a glimpse of it? Follow the trail of tears through the forest.
A book by two-time Gouden Uil winner Floortje Zwigtman and rising talent Ludwig Volbeda, filled with fascinating facts, centuries-old stories, and wondrous illustrations.
