    • Fabelwesen: Während vor Jahrhunderten die Menschen noch an Fabelwesen und Ungetüme glaubten, geistern diese heute nur noch in alten Fabeln, Volksmärchen und sonstigen Erzählungen herum und in diesem Buch. Darin hat man das Vergnügen in die Welt der "fantastischen Wesen" einzutauchen. Dazu kehrt man ins Jahr 1898 zurück und bricht mit dem Naturkundler Ernest Drake auf Entdeckungsreise, um manch eine der laut Buch angeblichen 60'000 Arten aufzuspüren. Da liest man über Yeti, Zentaur, Xyklopen, dreiköpfige Chimären, monströse Schlangen oder gruselige Vogeldrachen, ihre Besonderheiten und manch gruselige Begebenheit. Indem immer wieder Fundsachen der Wesen im Buch enthalten sind wie die Asche vom Nest einer Phönix, das Silberhaar eines Einhorns, die Haut eines sechsbeinigen Salamanders, wirkt das Ganze noch glaubhafter und sehr abenteuerlich. Sehr schön gestaltete Seiten mit herrlichem Bildmaterial, geheimnisvollen Briefen, welche die spannenden aber auch amüsanten Texte begleiten, schüren Entdeckerlust. Das Schriftbild ist zumeist sehr klein, was ermüdend wirken könnte. Ab 9 Jahren, ****, Beatrice Balint.
