This beautifully illustrated book from our brand new children’s imprint, Flying Eye Books, goes a long way to explaining the fact and fiction behind our favourite monsters and legends.

Our ancestors believed in mermaids, unicorns and the Cyclops, not because they were mad but simply because they didn’t know any better. What if the terrible kraken, so feared by sailors, was none other than a giant squid? Imagine if Bigfoot was just a lost gorilla. Could it be that werewolves were only very hairy humans?

Monsters and Legends is a delightful journey into a fearsome and unknown world of dragons, vampires, yetis and gremlins, magnificently illustrated by Gabriella Giandelli

Davide Cali is the multi-award winning and internationally renowned author of books such as; Piano Piano and I Can’t Wait, amongst many others. Gabriella Giandelli is the highly acclaimed French illustrator of Interioare and has had her work published in major national magazines in Italy, the USA and France.
