El libro de los seres imaginarios, 1967, expansion of Manual de zoología fantástica, 1957, written with Margarita Guerrero.

Few readers will want, or be able, to resist this modern bestiary. Here are familiar beasts like gryphons, minotaurs and unicorns as well as the monkey of the inkpot! The text by Borges is a cunning and humorous commentary on these beasts.
