Monsters and Legends Summary

Monsters and Legends by Davide Cali

This illustrated book goes a long way to explaining the fact and fiction behind our favourite monsters and legends.
Our ancestors believed in mermaids, unicorns and cyclopses, not because they were mad but because they didn't know any better. And so what if the terrible kraken, so feared by sailors, was none other than a giant squid? A delightful journey into fearsome
unknown worlds of dragons, vampires, yetis and gremlins, magnificently illustrated by Gabriella Giandelli.

Monsters and Legends Reviews

It's a great balance between fascination with monsters and lore and a skeptical inquiry into how widespread beliefs can be overturned by evidence and rational inquiry--a real 'magic of reality' book.--Boing BoingFrom mermaids and unicorns to Cyclops and giant squid to vampires and zombies, Giandelli's breathtaking illustrations and Cali's illuminating stories about the origin of each mythic creature bring to life the beings that haunt our collective conscience, as well as those we secretly fear -- or hope -- exist in some mystical corner of what we concede is reality.--Maria Popova, Brainpickings
