Sobre IBD

The original 1930 edition, meticulously preserved. This edition moves beyond the sterile, mass-market reproductions often found today to bring you a premium Collector’s Facsimile. Every page maintains the historical pagination and aesthetic of the source text, paired with a bespoke cover design unique to this imprint.In The Mystery and Lore of Monsters (1930), C. J. S. Thompson leads readers on a captivating journey through humanity’s enduring fascination with the strange, the wondrous, and the grotesque. From Babylonian omens and medieval bestiaries to Renaissance marvels and Victorian sideshows, Thompson explores how 'monsters' mirror our shifting attempts to make sense of the unknown. Giants stride beside dwarfs, mermaids glide among sea-serpents, and every account-whether ancient myth or medical marvel-reflects the fears, curiosities, and imaginations of its age. Erudite yet full of delight, this is a cabinet of curiosities in prose: an enthralling study where early science, superstition, and spectacle meet in the theatre of human wonder.
