Mythical Wonders

This 1928 edition of The Wonder Book of Myths and Legends was compiled by editor and writer William Byron Forbush (1868-1927). It was published in Philadelphia by the John C. Winston Company, where Forbush served as a consulting editor. The edition is adorned with illustrations by Frederick Richardson (1862-1937), an American illustrator most well-known for his vivid and imaginative illustrations in the works of L. Frank Baum.

The book is a treasure trove of enchanting stories of magic and wonder that captivated the ancient world. It explores myths and legends from various cultures, interweaving tales of gods, heroes, and fantastical creatures. The illustrations are a testament to the Art Nouveau movement. His use of striking colors and creative depictions brings the stories to life in a way that genuinely charms the reader.
