A Little Book of Miracles & Marvels

Collected here are mermaids, dragons, wyverns, unicorns, and the little woodland creatures called wodwos, as well as miraculous events such as The Legend of the... True Cross, Jonah and the Whale, and The Three Hares. There are battling dragons (from Durham Cathedral) and a cheerful little dragon (in Wirksworth, Derbyshire); the wyverns--photographed in Ripon and Canterbury Cathedrals--which were fire-breathing creatures with the head of a dragon, the body of a snake, and both legs and wings. Such a magnificent gallery of mythical creatures have all been found by Mike Harding within ancient Christian churches, offering remarkable insight into the richness and strangeness of these churches' cultural heritage.Detailed info »« Brief info
