Books from centuries past show us that the world was once inhabited by dragons, unicorns, werewolves, and krakens...
These fabulous monsters were described by sailors and travelers, who weren't shy about embellishing their adventures. If they described their ship being surrounded by sirens, no one bothered to check whether they were truly sirens or ordinary manatees.
Without photographs and films, it was difficult to distinguish reality from fantasy. Who knows, perhaps tiny elephants and giant crabs really do live on the other side of the world. And how can one doubt the existence of werewolves and sea serpents when everyone around us believes in them?
The creatures described in this book are fantastical, but their stories are true. In reality, there have been stories of captains selling their ships to buy sirens, or of roosters being accused of birthing basilisks! And when a wondrous animal appears in a fairy tale, it always plays an important role. But sometimes, a mythical creature enters the real world. For centuries, the kraken was merely a figment of fantasy—but eventually, it found its place among the marine fauna, among sardines and whales. Perhaps this monster is now a little less terrifying.
Immerse yourself in a world of fantastical creatures through incredible stories and stunning illustrations!
