They show where in the world monsters from mythology and folklore
can be found. According to the notes left with them they were made
by Cornelius Walters, an intrepid explorer from the 15th century.
But did Walters really make these elaborate maps, or is it all a
hoax? The librarian who discovered them is not certain ... and what
are the strange messages in a cryptic code that Walters records in
his ship's log? Inside this wonderous atlas are trolls and dragons,
minotaurs and krackens, goblins and giants ... and there is a
puzzle to solve. Stuart Hill's spectacular illustrations evoke the
beauty of a medieval map, but with a contemporary twist.
