Why read it?
1 author picked Gnomes & Ungnomes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This fantastical collection is written and illustrated by the many authors and illustrators who belong to the Writer's Loft. It contains poems, both funny and dark, about creatures from Banshees to Baku and Selkies to Kelpies.
The poems are as varied as the creatures, and though the subject matter is fantasy, the historical elements that are fantasy lore are at the core of many of the poems. In the hardcover version, there is equally fun and fact-filled backmatter. A must-have collection if you are a fan of poetry, myth, and great art.
From Jane's list on kids and mythical creatures.
