No other single volume I've seen to date can compare to the sheer breadth of creatures referenced in these pages. It gives a truly global perspective to the term monster. In my case, this book was everything I had hoped it would be -- a thorough encyclopedia on the subject. If you're looking for a children's book with colorful illustrations and a sentimental tone then you won't be as pleased as I was with this purchase. This book serves to introduce the reader to the various imaginary creatures of the world, many of which will surely be new to the average enthusiast, and hopefully inspire them to further investigate those they find particularly intriguing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Primer *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2017* This book is exactly what it says it is. It’s literally in the title. While some people complained about the shortness of some of the entries, I thought they were of a decent length. The purpose of this book is to help you get a start on where you’d like to focus your research. It introduced me to several creatures I wasn’t even aware existed in folklore. My only complaint was that it wasn’t categorized by region. Other than that, I like this and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in folkloric or mythological creatures. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A condensed compendium for serious knowledge seekers of mythological creatures *by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2010* Encyclopaedias have always enjoyed favour as a means of presenting subject matter in a condensed and accessible form. There are a number of books that treat giants, monsters and mystery animals none however seems to cover the entire lot in one book including symbolic elements. In alphabetical order giving basic descriptions of each creature as well as its activities, region, culture and historical period. In addition to the basic description and explanation of the origins the author explains parallels to other cultural icons, common heritages and manifestations pertaining to modern popular culture. My only disappointment in this book would be the pictures although there were a number of sketches they were all black and white a bit of colour would have improved the visual effect of this encyclopaedia greatly. We have after all grown accustomed to artistically drawn and designed books.Mythical creatures have always generated popularity of immense proportion in literary works, film, t/v and the most basic beginning story telling. They are legendary creatures believed at one point in our past history to be real beings. Mythical creatures can easily be divided into two groups ones that actually existed ones that are a composition of imagination gone wild in a time where imagination played a large part of existence. Over time these stories become legends they are then transferred into modern day mythological beings or creatures through film and majestic art work. Each country has their own mythical and magical creatures, monsters and legendary heroes brought to life in a continuum. We are constantly searching and wanting to know more about these myths, they are forever haunting our imagination and will forever continue to run along the imaginary mind. Movies, books on superheroes are forever bringing these mythical beings back to life. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/4054726-giants-monsters-and-dragons-an-encyclopedia-of-folklore-legend-myth](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/4054726-giants-monsters-and-dragons-an-encyclopedia-of-folklore-legend-myth) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
