Illustrations by Barbara Holman
Foreword by Francis Edward Abernethy
Based on the traditional medieval bestiary, Harold Billings’ sketches of Texas beasts are used to illuminate the relationship between natural history and the human condition.
Wonderfully realized in original watercolors by Barbara Holman, the beasts are depicted in a manner never before attempted in quite such a rich and exciting way. This is a timeless piece of Texana which will be handed down from one generation to another.
