alto 's review for:

The Book of Imaginary Beings by Jorge Luis Borges
5.0

quaint little book with many interesting insights into mythical creatures old n new, familiar and unfamiliar. my favourites were kafka's crossbreed of a lamb and a cat, the odradek - an animate thread spool, monkey of the inkpot - a monkey that likes to drink ink, and jakob lorber's leveller/ground-flattener - a giant green elephant alien with pyramids for legs that lives on Neptune.
