- "Traces the history of many imaginary creatures as they have appeared in myth and legend through the ages, describes their different species and characteristics, gives possible sources of their legendary origin, and offers explanations for supposed sightings by man." --Summary, LC and WorldCat library records of the 1st ed.
- "[S]he has capably synthesized and interpreted the appearance of these monsters in western literature. 'All-animal' creatures only, and each beast has some wondrous quality or power to set him apart from all others. Unicorns, beasts on land and sea--all are subjected to rigorous yet sympathetic scrutiny, examined for possible sources and social significance (the dragon's association with water, caves--and maidens)." --Kirkus Reviews, contemporary review undated online
