Cute, compact and utterly charming. One of my favorites 30 years
ago and it still is. A rather old title, it is a dictionary of
folkloric creatures culled from various faiths and backgrounds. Sort of
like a medieval bestiary. Acephali to zombie pretty much with all sorts
of others in between - but with a nice balance, not too much say Greco
Roman in favor of another background. Illustrations are not always the
best, but are a good, basic pen and ink and fit the text quite well.
Kudos to the public library of Wichita, from where this was discarded
many years ago before I acquired it.
