Purchased for a college class. The book came in great condition!

Well put together. I highly recommend for anyone interested in this kind of stuff.

Here is a medieval best seller.

Interesting and well written.

This book is amazing... It has so many drawings from the fabulous medieval creatures.It came in perfect shape, and super fast, I was excited to have it in my hands.This translation from a 12th century bestiary turned to be very quoted and famous.Excellent buy!

The Book of Beasts. White's familiarity with the lore and his grace with language make this a must for anyone who cares about the Arthurian legend, as all students and teachers of English should.

I had to read this for school, and it basically talks about the different animals and their meanings and secret powers. There are some startling descriptions though, so I wouldn't read this to a child. Overall, it's a good translation of the original.

ended up with a duplicate copy as this was reprinted ages ago with another cover - not a problem as gave it away
