Although not strictly a book on Cryptozoology as such – it’s a new title that looks at the issue of mysterious beasts from folklore and mythology – this is one that will still likely intrigue and interest. Its title: Monsters and Demons by Charlotte Montague.
And here’s the blurb for the book:
“Monsters and Demons is a complete guide to beasts, creatures, critters and spirits from folklore and mythology all over the world. Charlotte Montague is a freelance writer who specializes in general history. After gaining an M.A. degree in Cultural History from Sussex University, she began writing on a variety of subjects including ethnic cultures, travel, and music. More recently, she developed an interest in the history of mythical creatures. Her current research has taken her to many parts of the globe, including Africa and the Far East. She travels for most of the year, but returns frequently to her home, a remote eighteenth-century cottage on the Cornish coast.”
