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

I was fascinated by illustrations at first. Then, the variety of characters and their stories mesmerized me. As a person always curious about other culture’s mythologies, this is an essential encyclopedia for my shelf.

From Jen's list on start the Greek Mythology journey.
