Monsterlogica by Martin Maudsley

Description

Discover a world of dragons, werewolves and giants with Monsterlogica, an enchanting compendium of 50 mythical creatures from around the world.

From lumbering trolls to uncanny hybrids and mischievous trickster spirits, monsters have taken countless forms in folklore around the world. Monsterlogica brings these beings vividly to life with stunning illustrations by Victoria Topping and centuries of legend retold by storyteller Martin Maudsley. Each monster leaps from the page in this chunky, beautiful book, which is sure to have young monsterologists poring over the artwork for hours on end.

Divided into three clear chapters on Monsters, Beasts and Magical Beings, this book covers:

The Kraken, a giant, tentacled monster from Norse mythology

Dragons in all their fire-breathing ferocity

The chicken-headed Basilisk

Giants, Ogres and Trolls and how to tell the difference

Mermaids and Unicorns

Many lesser-known or more unusual supernatural creatures, from the lion-like Haetae of Korean folklore to the mysterious Scottish Selkie.

Some of these creatures are terrifying, others friendly and more than a few have a taste for mischief. One thing they all have in common is that the world they dwell in is not so far from our own . . .

Weaving together myths and mysteries, fact and fantasy, this must-have illustrated treasury makes for a spellbinding keepsake that will reveal something new every time you revisit.
