Mythical Creatures and Magical Beasts: An Illustrated Book of Monsters from Timeless Folktales, Folklore and Mythology: Volume 1by Zayden StoneThis was my first time reading a book by Zayden Stone and I found this book well written and that I enjoyed her writing style with the dual point of view.This was a good book, I liked it a lot. The overall experience is a great way to convey not only the value of the book but also what experience one can expect when reading it. This book is a deep study on unique mythological beasts that dwell in imaginations. The author has done good research and each mythical creature is depicted very well with captivating short stories.The narration of the book is very amazing and makes it a pure masterpiece. We get to know various mythical creatures from Japan, Greek etc.  The illustrations were just an added bonus to the whole storytelling.It is executed very well. The author’s narrative style is sometimes very suitable for me. Some scenes are described ,excessive.I recommend it to everyone because it is worth reading! It is very interesting to read.Great job by Zayden Stone , and wishing this book heaps of success! Highly recommended  ,Happy reading😌✌️

    Informative and gives you Insight of the Mythological creatures
  

*by A***. on Reviewed in India on 20 September 2021*

This book explores the Mythical and Magical creatures across six categories which is quite informative.Each of the creature features an reference to the tale of folklore which encounters the sighting of them.The illustrations are beautiful created by the artist. However it would have been better if it were in full color.The author has clearly mentioned from which mythology these creatures belong too and I quite enjoyed many of them which includes references from the Hindu Mythology too.Each of the creature have a ancient story or a folktale associated with it. Some are worshipped while others are most evasive beats.Although many creatures have their instances in the form of carvings and depiction on the walls, there are some mentions which can only be seen or told as per the stories by people and there exists no actual proof of them.The Japanese , Greek, Indian, Norse, Scottish, Fillipino mythology each have their respective creatures worshipped either as protector or destroyer. Some of them are considered good as God while others are evil as demons.There were many creatures who are interconnected with each other along with other mentions of the Gods, especially Jatayu and Garuda.There are some descriptions of creatures which are missing while mentioning their ancestors or their siblings for instance Medusa which is a setback. It raises your curiosity to know more about it in details.You will also find some lesser known creatures that exists across vast oceans and continents which is a good to know information.There is also the description of creatures having the distinct hybrid forms of human and animal like characteristics which is intriguing.Overall a good book to read if you are fond of learning about these creatures along with their folklore.

    A treasure to any mythology lover.
  

*by E***A on Reviewed in India on 1 October 2021*

ReviewA treasure to any mythology lover. This book presents a well researched and detailed tale or re-telling of the creatures and magical beasts you often find in mythological tales and fantasies. The author Zayden Stone is a self proclaimed folklorist, who has put together his dream and hard work into the pages of this book.It’s a collection of the fantastical creatures in myths, folktales, and legends, from around the world, covering Greek mythology, Hindu mythology, Islamic mythology, Norse mythology and many more. It will be an absolutely exciting read to anyone, because you will meet at least one familiar creature/ beast."We have seen that creatures and gods represent the duality of human nature.." "The majority of the stories that have been recorded have something to say about human behavior, highlighting what is virtuous and what is a vice or folly".I’m not a mythology reader, but still I found this book informative and intriguing at the same time. I had recently visited the Jatayu Tourism center in Kerala (India), which is the largest bird sculpture in the world, and I always wanted to know more about the legend of Jatayu, especially after the visit and this book brilliantly gave me everything I was looking for. A great piece of art, which will be an even greater addition to history and literature.@theindianreads
