MONSTERLAND: A JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLDS/ IMAGINATION (PB)

Award-winning author Nicholas Jubber sits on the thrones of giants in Cornwall, visits the shrine of a beheaded ogre near Kyoto, travels to an eighteenth-century Balkan vampire's forest dwelling, and paddles among the shapeshifters of the Louisiana bayous. On his journey, he discovers that the stories of the people and places that birthed them are just as fascinating as the creatures themselves. A spellbinding interrogation into why we need these monsters and what they can tell us about ourselves.
