Why read it?
1 author picked Encyclopedia of Things That Never Were as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When I found my second-hand copy for £5 in Acorn Antiques in 2006 (I still have the receipt!), little did I know I was holding the most magical, exquisite, resourceful, fascinating, beguiling, and immersive book on fantasy!
Each page is filled to the edges with intriguing folktales, legends, myths, and old wives tales (more than I could have wished for) and beautifully illustrated throughout. What more could I, an avid reader and writer of fantasy, want?
I still take joy in flicking through the pages until my eyes rest on another intriguing entry to be inspired by. I love losing…
From Loquacious' list on fantasy folktale campfire stories.
