    Artemis Fowl? Irish countryside an mythical beasts
    The Philospohers Stone, not as in Harry Potter but a weird fantasy thing, though i cant remember the author (Very helpful i know!)
    Also there is That Hideous Strength by C.S.Lewis, not many beasts but it has Merlin returning to aid his kingdom.

    all i can think of offhand, sorry if its not what your after

    Well gee, The Once and Future King, 1939, by T. H. White

    King Arthur, how's that for English myth. A really good read I think.

    Lab,

    Lord of the Rings? Yes very good also by Tolkein The Simerillian, much harder to read but worth it if you can handle about a jillion pages, people and stories. It's the entire history of Middle earth before the Rings.

    Wiccy,
    Yes I was thinking of that one also.
