From the deepest, darkest depths of the Atlantic Ocean to the cacophonous canopies of the Amazon rainforest, Basher History: Legendary Creatures brings to life the weirdest, creepiest and most amazing beasts rumoured to have roamed our planet.

Featuring well-known creatures like Bigfoot, Mermaids, and Vampires, Legendary Creatures invites you to journey to the forests of Uganda to discover the fierce Ndalawo, a leopard with a hyena-like cry, or to travel through Mayan ruins to meet the ominous Camazotz, a night-flying hybrid of man and bat. Basher's distinctive, colourful illustrations bring these magical mythological beings to life, all the while keeping kids in-the-know about the diverse range of folklore across the world.

For fans of mythical creatures, also check out Basher History: Myths and Legends and the rest of the Basher History series!
