Creatures and Beasts in World Mythology

All the mythologies of peoples around the globe contain fascinating, at times frightening, tales of a wide array animals and monsters. Stories about dragons, for instance, are especially numerous, not only in China, but also Greece, Scandinavia, England, and other parts of the world. Also common are tales about giants, shape-shifters, and flying menaces. This book contains tales about such creatures from the lore of Egypt, China, Greece, northern Europe, Japan, Korea, the United States, and elsewhere.
