Rezensionen / Stimmen

'A fabulous, enthralling and yet authoritative study of the persistent mythology of the water-horse, from ancient times to more recent folklore.'Francis Young,Historian of religion and the supernatural; author of Twilight of the Godlings and Silence of the Gods'An absolute delight of a book to swim through, alive with erudition, myth, folklore, and even a dip into the subject of watery cryptozoology. Spanning ages and lands, from the hippocampi of the classical world to Scottish water kelpies, to Nessie and beyond, Stephen Miller has provided us yet again with another entrancing volume and a feast to feed the imagination. I enjoyed every moment of my plunge into it.'Addison Hodges Hart,Author of Patapsco Spirits and Silent Rosary'Finally, the Kelpie has found a biographer worthy of it! From the lochs of the north to its tangled genealogy in Classical Antiquity, Miller's book tells the story of the scariest of all British 'frights'.'Simon Young,Folklorist, author of The Boggart
