{"product_id":"9780802852847","title":"Questionable Creatures: A Bestiary","description":"\u003cbr\u003eBestiaries are the most gloriously entertaining books to have come from the Middle Ages. Written and illuminated by monks, they describe every creature thought to exist in the medieval world and include all manner of fish, fowl, and mythological beast, however far-fetched. \u003cp\u003ePauline Baynes, whose original line illustrations for J. R. R. Tolkien's \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e and C. S. Lewis's \u003ci\u003eThe Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe\u003c\/i\u003e are known to millions, has revived twenty medieval and mischievous beasts, basing her tongue-in-cheek descriptions on various English bestiaries. Her delightful recreations of these fabulous beasts — from phoenix to manticore, from bonnacon to yale — hop, swoop, and gallop through the pages in antique splendor and will charm today's readers as readily as they astounded audiences centuries ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eerdmans, William B.
