Mostri leggendari e creature mitologiche
by Frasca Simone, Marconi Sara
A fantastic bestiary that includes 30 creatures from myths and legends that span the globe, loaded with information and curiosities. A bearer of millennia-old knowledge, this bound volume, crafted with an ancient aesthetic, is a gift from Circe the witch to the young protagonists of the Mythic Six series, allowing them to get to know the creatures they must protect. Each being is presented on two large illustrated double pages: the first pair, with a large image, describes the creature’s physical appearance and characteristics, the second provides its history and anecdotes, with little boxes marked here and there by notes, underlining, and insertions, as though the book had actually been used by the series’ characters for their adventures. Also appearing among the book’s pages is a magic medallion which, like a sort of porthole, can “connect” the reader to places, objects and situations related to the history or adventures of the fantastic creatures. Those who open this precious book will become members of the magical Team Chimera, protector of all fantastic creatures since the dawn of time!
