The Book of Beasts

This book is a selection of creatures that have haunted dreams, terrified, and even fascinated thousands of people throughout Mexico’s history. From the most well-known, such as La Llorona, Mexican versions of mermaids, or the feline witch, to strange and lesser-known monsters like Ek Chapat, the giant Wa Wa Pach, or Ñek.

Thanks to the elaborate and detailed illustrations by Israel Barrón, children will be able to immerse themselves in the world of popular oral tradition and discover anthropomorphic and zoomorphic beings with chilling, amusing, and mysterious traits.
