Love reading about myths,folklore, mythological creatures all over the world. I guess it has to do with the creativity of mankind and superstition.
Anyway i'm looking for a sort of bestiary or other books with the themes i described, with illustrations.

if you want something Veeky Forums try the book of imaginary beings by borges
if you want something more in-depth cryptozoological try something by karl shuker
thanks for the suggestions, going to look those up
Jacques Le Goff's Héros et merveilles du Moyen Âge. I don't really know if it's been translated to English.
Are there any books on the analysis of mythologies that tackle themes of certain creatures representing certain etnies?
goblins being compared to jews is not my first outlook. Looking more for creatures made up for natural phenomenons.
>goblins being compared to jews
I think it's clear by now who the real Goblins are.
I did laugh but not the direction i want this thread to go
The Classic of Mountains and Seas
I'm reading it right now. It's very weird stuff, more like a bunch of themes repeated again and again than a scholarly compilation. But highly recommended.
