The Book of Imaginary Beings (Deluxe Edition)
Author(s): Jorge Luis Borges
In a perfect pairing of talent, this volume blends 20 illustrations by Sis with Borges' 1957 compilation of 116 strange creatures conceived through time and space by the human imagination, from dragons and centaurs to Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat and the Morlocks of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine.
