Looking to stash the perfect Christmas present for the little monsters? Just published, Here There Be Monsters: The Legendary Kraken and the Giant Squid
It seems to be a careful and well-illustrated little volume of 80 pages, moving from the myths to modern ocean science.
“He seamlessly moves among exploration of history, mythology, film, literature and scientific discovery; the discussions of how everyone from Alfred, Lord Tennyson to Jules Verne to Walt Disney kept the myth of the ferocious kraken alive in people’s imaginations are especially interesting. The book is abundantly illustrated with charts, maps and photographs.” — Kirkus Reviews.
