Loreland Bestiary : An Illustrated Mythology of the World’s Most Fantastical Creatures

Turn your gaze toward the skiesWhere wyvern, lung, and phoenix fly. As mermaids swim through oceans blueUnder Arctic ice, past coral hues. Accounts arise from here and there,Of manticores in hidden lairs,And faeries dance ’round mushroom capsAs brownies steal your fabric scraps. But beware the moon and mind the howlsFor many hungry beasts doth prowl. My dearest trav'lers, enjoy these pagesFilled with creatures throughout the agesThat wander ’cross the lands of loreWhere few have dared to venture forth.
