A fascinating exploration of the monstrous creatures we have created, and what they can tell us about who we are A history of humanity without a history of our imaginations is only a partial one . . . We have always made and destroyed monsters. They reveal our fears and anxieties. They give form to what we don’t know or don’t understand, our inner demons and irrational terrors. Understanding our monsters allows us to understand ourselves. Enchanted Creatures delves into the incredible variety of monstrous creatures we have created over 15,000 years of history: from Palaeolithic cave carvings to hybrid snakewomen to deep-sea leviathans
