Mythology helps us how to express to the human race the thought process of an ancient civilization. Myths are the instruments to transport one back to the delightful state of imagination, after which it touches the real and the unreal.

Indian mythology is an interesting combination of both, more prominently. Be it about Lord Ganesha, the golden deer in Ramayana, or the Pushpaka Viman; there are numerous stories where birds, animals, trees, flowers and other creatures are blended into the mythology.

The book also lists creatures across religions, customs and geographies. Books like this will validate the Indian contribution to world literature where Harry Potter, Twilight and Jurassic Park books and movies are accepted widely.
