Formatted contents note The author discusses about 37 mythical creatures in Emirati tales. He mentioned that the most important of these famous creatures in the country are: (Umm Al-Duwais, Baba Dariah, Khattaf Rafai and Abu Al-Sasil). The book consists of several sections, the most important of which are: the name of the creature, the environment in which it became famous, the origin and interpretation of this name, and it also deals with the sources that talked about it and transmitted it. Does this creature have origins? Was it mentioned in ancient Arabic literature? Al-Muslim added that many of these creatures, through research and going to inspect the region in which they are famous, turned out to have been mentioned in Arabic literature through the book (The Extremist Min Kul Fan Al-Mustadharif) by its author Muhammad bin Ahmad Al-Khatib Al-Abshihi (1388-1448 AD). He also considered that the origin of Naming these creatures is usually a descriptive case directed at the popular imagination, and the implementation of this book was based on drawing, as these creatures were drawn by four painters who relied on the research method.

Summary, etc. ( باللغتين العربية والإنجليزية ) . يتناول المؤلف نحو 37 كائناً خرافياً في الحكايات الإماراتية». وذكر أن أهم هذه الكائنات المشهورة في الدولة هي: (أم الدويس، بابا درياه، خطاف رفاي وأبو السلاسل).ويتكون الكتاب من عدة أقسام أهمها: اسم الكائن، والبيئة الذي اشتهر فيها، وأصل وتفسير هذا المسمى، كما يتناول المصادر التي تحدثت عنه وتناقلته، وهل لهذا الكائن أصول وتم ذكره في الأدب العربي القديم. وأضاف المسلم أن كثيراً من هذه الكائنات من خلال البحث والذهاب لمعاينة المنطقة المشهور بها تبين أنها قد تم ذكرها في الأدب العربي من خلال كتاب (المستطرف من كل فن مستظرف) لمؤلفه محمد بن أحمد الخطيب الأبشيهي ( 1388-1448 م).كما اعتبر أن أصل تسمية هذه الكائنات عادة تكون حالة وصفية توجه للمخيلة الشعبية، واعتمد تنفيذ هذا الكتاب على الرسم، حيث قام برسم هذه الكائنات أربعة رسامين اعتمدوا على المنهج البحثي .
