Mythical Monsters (Illustrated)

Sure, you can find free downloads of this book on the Internet, but none with the scores of illustrations that accompany this special edition. Here is a portfolio of cryptozoological creatures that put the text into a visual context that is unsurpassed. These illustrated reprints from Absolutely Amazing eBooks are well worth the puny price. Enjoy!

Dragons, unicorns, centaurs -- mythological monsters all, the stuff of legends and fanciful storytelling. Right? But what if there was a basis to many of these creatures, a reason for belief in dragons and such. Charles Gould approaches the subject as if it were everyday Natural History. He explores the historical context, the ancient manuscripts, the evolutionary evidence, the tales that have been handed down, and the little known facts. You’ll enjoy Gould’s theories and postulations, whether you agree with him or not. And you’ll certain find all the illustrations, photographs, and diagrams fascinating.

Born in England, Charles Gould was a widely acclaimed geologist, noted for surveying Tasmania, the Bass Strait Islands, and New South Wales. He is listed in the Encyclopedia of Australian Science. He never met a unicorn.
