A directory of where to find surviving gargoyles around the world complements fascinating information on the symbolism, legend, and lore of each spirited creature. Shawn Cipa is the author of Carving Fantasy & Legend Figures in Wood, Carving Folk Art Figures, Woodcarving the Nativity in the Folk Art Style, and Wood Spirits and Green Men.
