Loreland Bestiary: An Illustrated Mythology of the World's Most Fantastical Creatures - Hardcover

by Hope Christofferson (Author)

Turn your gaze toward the skies
Where wyvern, lung, and phoenix fly.
As mermaids swim through oceans blue
Under Arctic ice, past coral hues.
Accounts arise from here and there,
Of manticores in hidden lairs,
And faeries dance 'round mushroom caps
As brownies steal your fabric scraps.
But beware the moon and mind the howls
For many hungry beasts doth prowl.

My dearest trav'lers, enjoy these pages
Filled with creatures throughout the ages
That wander 'cross the lands of lore
Where few have dared to venture forth.
