A Practical Guide to Monsters

This illustrated companion arrives as a follow-up to an earlier guide about dragons, and it turns its attention to the other creatures that haunt folklore. Readers meet giants, goblins and mummies, each presented with the kind of detailed notes and pictures that suit an armchair naturalist. The pages are built around the idea of a field handbook: what each creature looks like, where it tends to turn up, and what sort of trouble it might cause. Its seasonal timing makes it a natural pick for October, when spooky reading is in demand. The tone stays playful throughout, inviting younger readers to browse the entries in any order and linger over the drawings.
