1 The Hidden World of Mythical Folk 2024 Maz Evans Buy

The Hidden World of Mythical Folk is an illustrated guide to legendary peoples and beings drawn from myths around the world. In format it sits closer to a reference book than a novel, with entries on creatures from various traditions presented in Evans’s characteristically lively style. It is aimed at the same readers who enjoy her mythology fiction but also suits younger children who prefer browsing over continuous narrative.

As a standalone book outside her main series, it reflects Evans’s genuine interest in mythology as a subject, not purely as a vehicle for plot. Paired with The Hidden World of Magical Creatures, the two volumes make a loose illustrated set for young readers who want to explore world mythology in an accessible format.
