I'm looking for a book that sprung back into my mind a few days ago. I wouldn't be able to tell you when it was published, but I had it last around ten years ago, I think. It was a full-colour illustrated "bestiary" of fantasy creatures - it for certain had dragons and gryphons in it, but plenty others that I don't remember. It was written in first person, possibly from the point of view of an old lady. That last point is fuzzy, so don't rely on it. The only exact phrase I remember from it was on the section about gryphons, the narrator comments that they always "reminded [her] of flying kittens". The gryphons are drawn exactly like that; my memory of the image is of them on a tree - small, fuzzy, big paws and cute faces. Please help me find this! It's been mystifying me since I remembered it.
