Myth-Land by Edward Hulme

Publication: 1886 Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & RivingtonFirst Edition

Authored by Edward Hulme, a workdedicated to the lore of mythical animals.“Our subject very naturally divides itself into two obvious sections – the one dealing with wholly untrue and impossible creatures of the fancy, the other with the strange beliefs and fancies that have clustered round the real creatures we see around us.” It therefore touches upon stories about the Basilisk, the Cockatrice, the Chimera, the Unicorn, the Manticora, the Dragon, the Onocentaur, the Gorgon, Anthropophagi, the Phoenix, the Sphinx, Satyrs, Fauns, etc.”
