Monsterology: The Complete Book of Monstrous Creatures (Ology series) Hardback -- The book pretends to be written by a Dr. Ernest Drake, a noted monsterologist of the early 19th century. Chapters II. III, IV and V cover beasts of the earth, water and air, in that order, followed by semi-human beasts such as the cyclops, centaur, merfolk and sphinx. Appendix I and II, in high camp, explain the importance of record keeping and the necessary equipment for study such as a pencil, a spade and an assortment of nets. Helpful spells and charms are provided as well as songs, calls and whistles. Conservation and collecting are the hallmarks of an outstanding monsterologist and the names and careers of several outstanding experts are noted. The book ends with the reader facing what appears to be a carved wooden door that opens to reveal a cabinet of specimens—a prehistoric phoenix trapped in amber, a piece of yeti fur and such things. A space is available for the reader's own discovery. (some of the interactive accessories may be missing) -- Used great condition - perfect for grade school children and adults.
