OUR MONSTERS AND THEIR MEANINGS

'Beautifully written, completely engaging  and dazzlingly wide-ranging''

 Julia Lovell - prize winning author and scholar 

A journey into the dark histories of creatures we have imagined over 15,000 years of history: from strange beasts carved in Palaeolithic caves and hybrid snake women, to deep-sea leviathans and apocalyptic dino-monsters. Discover  what lies beneath the monstrous menagerie that has shaped our minds, our societies and how we see our place in nature.

‘wide-ranging and profound exploration’
