Why read it?
1 author picked The Book of Mythical Beasts and Magical Creatures as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love that it has an illustration on one side that instantly catches your eyes. On the other, you explore where the tale started and find similarities with folk tales you already know.
