Storytelling is an important part of all cultures, and stories are an important part of cultural identity. This book recognises and celebrates living in a global community and all the richness this has brought to our lives, but in a whimsical and fun way. A wide range of mythological creatures and objects have been selected, including a few well known favourites. The book can be read on two levels. Firstly, as a simple ABC of characters for those who want to introduce children to mythology and fantasy or secondly as a bit more complex book by including a short description of each creature.
