Monsters: A Bestiary of the Bizarre

Monsters: A Bestiary of the Bizarre explores monsters through the ages and throughout the world. With a brilliant set of bizarre and fantastical illustrations, Monsters provides a dark yet engrossing visual history of fearsome beasts from every age and culture.

Christopher Dell investigates what the existence of monsters even if only in our heads says about humankind, and explores such questions as how monsters have survived the millennia; why they are universal; why we find the same one-eyed giants in Japan and in ancient Greece, or the same dragons in Europe and China.
