Illustrated throughout with more than 180 two-color drawings, it is a work for lovers of fantasy and mythology, ancient knowledge, fabulous beasts, and inspired art. The beings catalogued within these pages come from the regions of the known world, from the mountains and seas, the Great Wastelands, and the Lands Within the Seas that became China. They include spirits and deities and all sorts of strange creatures--dragons and phoenixes, hybrid beasts, some hideous or with a call like wood splitting, or that portend drought or flood or bounty; others whose flesh cures disease or fends off nightmares, or whose pelt guarantees many progeny.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 398.469 Su Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.469 Sun Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.469 Su Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.469 Su Lost 08/23/2022 Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.469 Su Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
