Frank Gibson's "Superstition About Animals" is a fine collection of various folklore about animals. From bees and birds to fantastic creatures like the basilisk and sea serpents, it combines poetry and religious scriptures with then-modern scientific asides in its treatment of the animal world.Less dense than some similar and contemporary works, its skepticism towards superstition in general is counter-balanced by its tacit acceptance of some cryptozoological claims.
