Good book you need to read

"The Element Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures"
The authors (John & Caitlin Matthews) really did a lot of research in writing this. They use the works of Pliny the Elder, myths and legends from around the world, and things like that. It covers everything from dragons and fairies to modern things like the chupacabras. I am so far to "E" and have enjoyed everything I have read. As well of learning new things, I have learned more about things I some what knew already. I got the book for Christmas so I don't know where it was gotten. But it should be easy to find for the inquisitive.
It even has some of the legends of the different creatures written about. And they seem to have the same love for myth and legend I do.
