The dragon, the unicorn, the sea serpent and the phoenix examined by a colonial geologist who thought the legends preserved memories of real animals. Gould's argument is wrong and the collection of evidence is fascinating. Its 72 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.
