In a perfect pairing of talent, this volume blends 20 illustrations by Sis with Borges' 1957 compilation of 116 strange creatures conceived through time and space by the human imagination, from dragons and centaurs to Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat and the Morlocks of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine.
Reviews
Erudite and whimsical, a model handbook of fantastic zoology. (Michael Dirda, "The Washington Post") Of all the Latin American authors in this century, [Borges] is the most universal. (Harold Bloom)
