This cult classic delves into mysteries such as whether the Loch Ness monster exists, and tells stories of dragons and monsters from around the world. It also looks at some of the most frightening creations of myth and legend. First published in 1977, this is the third book from Usborne's beloved World of the Unknown series to be brought back by popular demand. With a brand-new foreword by comedian, actor and writer Robin Ince, the book remains otherwise unchanged from the original.
First published in the 1970s, The World of the Unknown books were some of the very first from Usborne, then a brand-new publisher that set out to revolutionise the world of children’s books. The three books – Ghosts, UFOs, and Monsters – lived on bookshelves in bedrooms and libraries, thrilling their young readers with mythical monsters and sinister sightings, and igniting their curiosity with the possibility of strange, undiscovered creatures in our world.
