Mythopedia: An Encyclopedia of Mythical Beasts and Their Magical Tales by Good Wives and Warriors
4.0
Thank you to Netgalley for the e-arc of Mythopedia.
Mythopedia is a beautifully illustrated children's encyclopedia of mythical creatures from all across the globe, split into different continents, giving the reader an introduction to different cultures mythologies. The book provides the reader with the creature's origin and a brief story of what they've done for the world in their respective mythos. A good number of these mythical creatures are also given a double-page spread, telling a specific story of the being. Alongside the beautiful storytelling, there are breathtaking illustrations, enabling the reader to truly picture these mythical beings, which can be difficult with some of their bizarre descriptions!
I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading the tales of where all of these mythical creatures came from and stories of what they've done for the world, and the illustrations made for a beautiful reading experience. I think readers of any age interested in mythology would be able to take something from this book, it definitely introduced me to some creatures I hadn't heard of before!
Stunning illustrations and beautiful storytelling - high four-star rating from me!
