His many accomplishments in his study of Magizoology led to his being awarded the Order of Merlin, Second Class, in 1979. In his foreword to the book, Hogwarts School's Albus Dumbledore explains both the value of the book and why it is being offered to Muggles for the first time. The book contains descriptions of seventy-five species. Each entry also contains a physical description of the beast, where it can be found, and information about its relationship with wizards. The listings are in alphabetical order.
