Do you like mythical monsters? #EnchantedCreatures by Natalie Lawrence is absolutely wonderful. A fascinating, insightful, and beautifully written book about one of my favourite subjects.

“Ḫumbaba, his voice is the Deluge, his speech is fire, his breath is death. He hears the forest’s murmur for sixty leagues; who is there that would venture into his forest?” #MythologyMonday
