Stories of mysterious creatures have been told throughout history, and every country in the world has its own legends and tales of monsters and mystery beasts. This book delves into the world of the unknown to explore the tales of creatures lurking in lakes, seas and mountains - such as the Loch Ness Monster, the Kraken and the Abominable Snowman. It looks at mythical monsters form Greek and Roman legends, and the modern-day monster stars of stage and screen, whilst asking the all-important question - do these monsters really exist?
