Science & Nature Fantasy Children’s Books
Amarant: The Flora & Fauna of Atlantis, Una Woodruff’s lush 1981 picture book, invites fantasy lovers into a “scientific” tour of the vanished continent. Every spread pairs whimsical field notes with the artist’s intricate full-color plates, making this hardcover a cult favorite among illustrated fantasy and mythology collectors.
The 96-page volume arrives in good vintage shape: a bright dust jacket wraps tight, unmarked pages; only light foxing on the front endpapers and a faint crease or two hint at its four-decade journey. No handwriting, no dog ears, no smoke or musty odors—just crisp imagery ready for display or reading.
Ideal for young-adult and adult fans of folklore, mysticism, and art culture, this first edition from Paper Tiger doubles as shelf candy and a springboard for creative world-building. Snag Una Woodruff’s Atlantis bestiary while it surfaces on the secondary market.
