Part of Usborne's cult classic 1970s series, back by popular demand for a new generation. Along with Ghosts and UFOs, Monsters was part of Usborne's thrilling 'World of the Unknown' series, a series that holds a special place in the hearts and imaginations of those adults who grew up reading them. The book covers all bases, from Greek and Roman mythology (Cyclops, Sirens), to old English literature (dragons and Beowulf's Grendel), cryptozoological legends (Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster) and real-world dinosaurs - plus a movie-monsters section. For fans of monster fare, this is a well-planned feast!
