Praise for On the Virtues of Beasts
Charming and beautiful! This book is absolutely delightful, especially for anyone who loves the illustrations of the Middle Ages... I took a long time to read it, savoring each creature's page, and have finally finished. It would be fun to share with a child, but I kept it all to myself! - Elaine Isaak All in all, it was a wonderful book that I thoroughly enjoyed. You can read it cover to cover if you like, I certainly have. But, sometimes I found that it’s more fun to just let the book fall open, and see what creature you find. - Cari A delightful book for all ages. I highly recommend this and am using it for good night entries and a nice coffee table. Fantastic! - Daniel Stevens |
