This palm-sized book tells the story of mythical creatures worldwide. As an illustrator, I’m always fascinated by interesting and experimental book designs, and this book instantly caught my attention with 250 illustrations of more than 100 mythical beings.

I couldn’t stop myself from bringing this book home. It was such an inspiration for me because it tells the story of some creatures that I had never heard of before. This book is still on the bookshelf closest to my computer desk.
