Welcome, monster hunter! If you hold this book, then you seek knowledge few dare to face. For ages uncounted, I – Bai Ze, wanderer and keeper of beast-lore – have studied the monsters that haunt our myths. I have watched the fiery Boitata coil through burning forests, glimpsed the vast Kraken thrashing beneath stormy seas and traced the roots of creatures long spoken of in whispers. Their bodies tell stories; their bones carry truths. Within these pages, you will find careful drawings that reveal how each creature is shaped, how it survives and why it lingers in the tales of humankind. My anatomical findings will show you what lies beneath fang, scale and shadow, capturing the spirit, power and mystery of every beast.

On an autumn day in 1940, four boys explored a tunnel that their dog had gone into. They had no idea that they had entered the Lascaux Caves, a network of chambers covered in cave art from 17,000 years ago. This is just one of countless tales of rediscovery that have given us glimpses of ancient history. In this stunning book, 32 of the most surprising and beautiful artefacts from around the world are displayed photographically, and brought to life with colourful illustrations. Whether it’s an Ancient Egyptian throne or an archer from China’s Terracotta Army, author Matt Ralphs brings the excitement and intrigue of how each item was recovered and what it can tell us about the lives of the people who made it.
