1980s Classic Children's Halloween Book: World of the Unknown MONSTERS

First published in 1977, this book is for anyone who has ever glimpsed a sinister shape looming in the sea, heard an unknown creature's footsteps crunching through the forest, or wondered about the existence of monsters in remote regions of our world. Myths of monsters have existed for millennia, from the jackal-headed Egyptian gods to the petrifying Gorgons of Greece. And millions of years before then, dinosaurs prowled the Earth. Many such creatures are described here alongside accounts of much more recent monster encounters, such as fire-breathing dragons, ship-crushing Krakens, the murderous Minotaur, elusive lake monsters and more. This was one of the very first books from Usborne. It lived in bookshelves in bedrooms and libraries, thrilling its young readers with mythical monsters and sinister sightings and igniting their curiosity with the possibility of strange, undiscovered creatures in our world. After twenty years the world moved on, and the World of the Unknown series went out of print. But it wasn't forgotten. The books lived on in the memories of a generation, and when the readers of the 1970s and 1980s grew up, they wanted them back. This is the republished edition with a new forward from Robin Ince.
