In the spirit of medieval bestiaries, this beautifully illuminated volume provides a well-stocked alphabet of mythical, magical creatures hailing from a wide variety of times and places.  With decorative borders on every page and myriad block print illustrations both large and small, every letter of the alphabet is represented by at least one creature, ranging from fantasy favorites to lesser-known beasts.  Charming and warm-hearted descriptions and illustrations urge all who love magic to take inspiration from these fantastical creatures and consider what they can tell us about the magic in our own lives.  Includes notes on background and sources.
