Amazing illustrations will lure the lovers of mythical artwork to this unique and beautiful book illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli.  The brief descriptive sentence fragments could be used as a writing prompt for teachers at the elementary or middle school level.  Each phrase in the book describes a group of mythical creatures.  Example: A vengeance of harpies, a grapple of griffins, a storm of thunderbirds, etc.  The back of the book includes a comprehensive glossary listing the mythical creatures throughout the book and their origin.  This book would make an interesting addition to any library or collection, but may be most coveted by those who study mythical creatures, art, or creative writing.
