A review by vickiireads
The Book of Imaginary Beings by Jorge Luis Borges

5.0

A whimsical catalogue of creatures plucked straight out of ancient mythology, folk tales and magical tales ranging from Poe to C.S Lewis. Borges' covers an extensive worldy range of monsters, including the Egyptian Eater of the Dead, The Greek Minotaur , the Scottish Fairies and the Doppelganger. Many of the animals you will never have heard of before, but there are also a few favourites like dragons and unicorns, described in his careful, lyrical style.
