A pioneer in the strange art and ambiguous science of zo phagy-that
is, of studying animals by eating them-British natural historian
FRANCIS TREVELYAN BUCKLAND (1826-1880) was a wildly popular speaker
and writer of the Victorian era. In his classic four-volume
Curiosities of Natural History, published between 1857 and 1872, he
shared his love of creatures exotic and mysterious with readers who
devoured his charming and erudite essays much in the same way he
devoured his animal subjects. "If there is one person that I would
have expected to have captured a sea serpent in the 19th century
for the sole purpose of eating it, it would be Frank Buckland,"
writes cryptozoologist Loren Coleman in his new introduction to
Buckland's series. One of the founding grandfathers of
cryptozoology, the discipline that investigates animal mysteries,
Buckland was not "a wild-eyed 'true believer' in anything strange,"
insists Coleman, but brought, instead, "a skeptical, open-minded
approach" to his work. Indeed, here, in the "fourth series" of
Curiosities of Natural History, Buckland's erudition is clear in
his animated discussions of, among many other things, measuring a
French giant, the "woolly woman of Hayti," performing fleas, six
thousand parakeets, the intemperance of salmon, and fossil pork.
This new edition, a replica of the 1888 "Popular Edition," is part

of numerous books of cryptozoology, including Bigfoot : The True
Story of Apes in America and Mothman and Other Curious Encounters.
