Description:
First English edition, translated form French by Richard Garnett. With an introduction by Gerald Durrell. With 120 drawings by Monique Watteau. This book is credited with introducing the term "cryptozoology", and established its author as the "Father of Cryptozoology".
'This English edition is in many respects better that the original French edition published in 1955. It has been brough up to date and many errors and inexactitudes corrected; moreover, while much subsidiary matter has been abridged by the translator, a vast amount of unpublished material has been added. Some important chapters have been rewritten and several new illustrations have been included.' (Acknowledgements)
