Magical Creatures

by Elizabeth Pepper

Mystic tradition grants pride of place to many members of the animal kingdom. Some share our life. Others live wild and free. Still others never lived at all, springing instead from the power of human imagination. Magical Creatures collects their tales and tributes from earliest times to the present. This engaging subject matter presented in the style which Witches' Almanac readers have come to expect. Magical Creatures is a book any animal lover can get lost in. The loyal readership of The Witches' Almanac will find Magical Creatures a welcome addition to their library, and an excellent a companion to Magic Charms from A to Z .

A great book for children to help broaden their education in humanities. My son aged 9 learned more about cultural beliefs from reading this book over a weekend than he did from a whole term at school. For example, he was never told in school that ancient people believed that regular animals such as a horse and a dog were once considered magical other realm creatures and was never told that ancient gods used to turn themselves into such creatures either. It was very mind broadening for him.

This book is nothing I thought it would be. Not recommended.
