Auspicious Animals: The Art of Good Omens

This is a beautiful book to look at and the text is informative and interesting. The book is filled with artistic representations of imaginary animals. The text explains the myths and why the animal was considered a good omen. Most of the animals are from China but there are some from other parts of the world. I really learned a lot reading this book. Enjoy

Fabulous illustrations and filled with information from Chinese paintings, designs, and Interpretation of these wonderful animals depicted in the pictures. Beautifully presented and interesting to read.
