A review by thoughton98
The Book of Imaginary Beings by Jorge Luis Borges

4.0

An intriguing text that compiles a number of extracts from different texts and sources about a menagerie of mythological creatures. Aside from the cliched regulars like dragons and unicorns, there are also detailed accounts of lesser-known fantasy beasts such as the zaratan, oni and ouroboros. If you are interested in the origins of mythological creatures, this is the book for you.
