Description: First edition. | Woodbury, Minnesota : Llewellyn Publications,

[2020] | Includes bibliographical references. | Summary: “This book

explores some of the more fearsome beasts that have been known to meddle

in human affairs. The author reveals the secret lives of merfolk and

meremaids, river sprites and kelpies, hags and banshees as well as hobs,

goblins, bogies daemon dogs, and many more. These are the magical
