Abstract
THE author of this book so nicely adjusts the balance between weight of learning and popular interest that he charms the scholar and the arm-chair reader alike. The growth of legends and myths concerning animals is traced from the earliest European literature to the times in which science has destroyed belief in them, while leaving them to embroider literature.
