Description
The Channel Islands have a rich legacy of interwoven folklore, an antique tapestry full of faery creatures and mythical beasts. Here you will find fantastic adventures and fearsome fairytales, tall tales, horrors and high romance.
In this exquisitely illustrated compendium, Channel Island Monsters weaves a web of deliciously dark stories from centuries of fables and their fragments. The werewolves, mermaids, changelings and dragons may seem familiar, but there are also monsters which are strange and unique to the Channel Islands. La Vioge, La Cocangne, Le Belengi and L'Emanue are ancient creatures waiting to be rediscovered, with their eyes still shining and their claws still sharp.
An exquisitely illustrated guide to the monster myths of the Channel Islands: dark yet playful retellings of ancient legends
