Fairy Beasts and Animals of Legend

Our ancient ancestors believed in a plethora of mythical beasts. Many people over the centuries have claimed to have seen dragons, unicorns, mermaids and faery animals of all kinds. There are several historical accounts of encounters with dragons and even tales of unicorns being exhibited at royal courts. The last dragon described in the book was said to have been killed in West Wales as late as the 18th century.
