This sounds like a cool book to read. Informative too.
Thanks for the intriguing review.

Say, did the author talk about dragons and unicorns?

As usual, you have delivered a great review. I have always had a vague idea about mythical creatures in general. It would be great to discover a lot more about the six different categories by reading the book.

Oh my, this is interesting! I just love mythology and folklore… would you mind telling me which cultures are present in this book? Your review says there are various cultures included. I am specifically fond of Irish, Icelandic, Greek and Finnish folklore and mythology. Anyway, it seems like the author has done a tremendous job in researching the topic. Also, the good structure is definitely a plus. Thanks for a thorough review, I enjoyed reading it!

Several creatures are from Greek mythology. Others are from Celtic, Norse, Japanese, Filipino, Hindu, and Islamic mythologies. I really appreciated the author's job in supplying the significant information about each creature in summaries that are all substance. Thank you for your appreciation!

This is perhaps one of the most informative books about myths and folklore creatures. I am impressed by the thorough review and I too like that the author provides sources for further information about each creature. This is super helpful as a reference and the illustrations are a beautiful addition. Thank you for the great review!

Well structured books can be easy to follow. However, magical themes are not my area of interest. Thanks for an honest review.
