- El mundo de los seres mitológicos está plagado de misterio y de magia.- ¿Alguna vez has oído hablar de Anansi, la araña de África occidental que se transforma, o de Tanuki, el dulce pero travieso perro mapache del folclore japonés?- Con esta enciclopedia como guía, podrás iniciar un viaje mágico por los mitos y leyendas del mundo y sus seres míticos.Los mitos y las leyendas son antiguas historias tradicionales que han ido pasando de una persona a otra a través de generaciones. Estas narraciones cuentan historias de seres mágicos y misteriosos que viven entre nosotros. Algunos de estos seres podrían confundirse con animales comunes como las liebres, los caballos y las ardillas, pero pueden delatarse al hablar, cambiar de forma, hechizar o, de repente, crecer hasta alcanzar un tamaño gigantesco. Otros son de apariencia fantástica y es más fácil descubrirlos, por ejemplo, los dragones y los unicornios, el basilisco con su veneno mortal o la gigantesca Serpiente Arcoíris, esencia del agua.¿Por qué se cuentan estas historias? Algunas nos advierten de criaturas terroríficas como el Grootslang, mitad serpiente mitad elefante, mientras otras simplemente nos entretienen. A menudo estas interesantes historias ayudan a explicar cómo las cosas han llegado a ser lo que son ahora: cómo el Pájaro del Trueno crea las tormentas o cómo Anansi, el dios araña, transmitió las historias a los seres humanos.

- El món dels éssers mitològics és ple de misteri i de màgia.- Has sentit mai a parlar d'Anansi, l'aranya transformista de l'Àfrica occidental? O del Tanuki, una espècie de gos amable però entremaliat del folklore japonès?- Amb aquesta enciclopèdia com a guia, emprendràs un viatge màgic en què coneixeràs multitud de criatures fabuloses i llegendes d'arreu del món.Els mites i les llegendes són antigues històries tradicionals que han anat passant d'una persona a l'altra, sovint generació rere generació. Aquestes narracions expliquen històries d'éssers màgics i misteriosos que viuen entre nosaltres. Alguns d'aquests éssers es podrien confondre amb animals comuns com les llebres, els cavalls i els esquirols, però a vegades es delaten quan parlen, canvien de forma, llancen encanteris o, de sobte, creixen fins a aconseguir una dimensió gegant. D'altres són d'aparença fantàstica i és més fàcil descobrir-los, per exemple, els dracs i els unicorns, el basilisc amb el seu verí mortal o la immensa serp irisada, que no se separa de l'aigua.Per què s'expliquen aquestes històries? Algunes ens adverteixen de criatures terrorífiques com el Grootslang, meitat serp meitat elefant, mentre que altres simplement ens entretenen. Sovint aquestes interessants històries ajuden a explicar com les coses han arribat a ser el que són ara: com l'ocell del tro crea les tempestes o com Anansi, el déu aranya, va transmetre les històries als éssers humans.
