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.

This volume introduces young readers to the otherworldly characters of ancient myths. Spanning nine different cultures from around the globe, it puts readers on the battlefield alongside Odin and Thor in The Battle of Ragnarok; above the clouds on Mount Olympus with Zeus and his family; on the forest floor laughing at the cheeky tricks played by kami spirits; and in the fiery presence of India’s devis and devas. Each mythology is introduced through its characters – gods, goddesses, monsters, weapons, spirits, ghosts and fairy folk among others – who appear in a busy seek-and-find scene. A second spread extrapolates on the mythology – be it a legend, saga or quest – and explains its significance. The tales in this book are sure to delight young history lovers and bedtime story connoisseurs alike.

Step into the incredible lives of the saints with this stunning collection of tales, written by broadcaster and Professor of Catholic Studies, Tina Beattie. Favourite stories, such as St Jerome nursing a lion and St Brigid’s miraculously expanding cloak, sit alongside those which are lesser-known, such as when St Kevin had to stay still while a blackbird nested in his hand or when St Margaret was swallowed by a dragon. All are filled with bravery, kindness, and resilience, and the beautiful illustrations by artist Alicia Rutigliano bring the saints to life. More than 25 saints are featured, each with both a fact-filled profile and the story of one of their miracles. A reference section includes information on patron saints, relics, and miracles, as well as a calendar of feast days for every day of the year.
