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.
