CHANNILLO
Series Description:
A portal to the enchanting world of Nature Spirits, this book allows you a tantalizing glimpse into the fascinating lives of elusive mythological beings who may have been living side by side with us since the beginning of time. You may have heard about some of them, but many others will surprise you! Unlike any other book written about these mythical beings, it shows how closely they are connected to the natural world and its ecology and how they interact with or even represent the environment. In addition, it brings to light a world that had never been explored before – the world of Urban Nature Spirits, who are said to have migrated with us into cities since Biblical times. You will explore mythology, history, literature, and psychology as you are shown how to study, observe, and understand these beings – the core of the natural world in all its myriad manifestations.

Author Bio For Ilil Arbel:
Ilil Arbel's published work includes fiction (general, young adult, and mystery), nonfiction (health and wellness, natural history, biography), and business writing and training manuals (medical, dental, managed care). She specializes in mythology and folklore (the subject where she earned her Ph.D.). Ilil worked as an editor at Encyclopedia Mythica and regularly contributed articles. Her work is available on Amazon, BHC Publishing, Channillo.com, Encyclopedia Mythica/Pantheon.org, and The Angela Thirkell Literary Society of North America’s website.
Acknowledgements:
This book is dedicated to my granddaughter, Lilah Arbel, with many thanks for her generous and knowledgeable assistance and advice.
Notes:
This book is accessible to a broad age range. It comprises a vast amount of information, but it is written in a clear, easy-to-understand language, and the material is presented in short segments that are easy to absorb. The book was initially written for a grown-up audience, but it can also be read by young adults, particularly if they have already read my other book on this site, the YA novel The Cinnabar Box, and wish to expand their knowledge of the subjects of mythology and environment.
