For me, nothing can beat the childhood experience of reading Jonathan Hunt's lavishly illustrated Bestiary, full of unusual and semi-forgotten medieval monsters.

I should mention, this is out of a book called Bestiary: An Illuminated Alphabet of Medieval Beasts written and as far as I can tell illustrated by Jonathan Hunt, it's a wonderful book I have loved ever since I first read it as a kid. It's a thin hardcover with beautiful illustrations, and if anyone would like it is ~5 bucks on Amazon.

Edit: Off of mobile, link does indeed work.
