Mystery Animals of the British Isles

Throughout the county of Staffordshire, strange, monstrous and terrible things lurk. Exotic big cats are said to roam Staffordshire’s thick woods. Ghostly black dogs with red, glowing eyes faithfully haunt and patrol its ancient roads and well-worn pathways.

Mystery animals? Great Britain? Surely not. These are not phrases which would normally be thought of in the same sentence. But it is true. The zoogeography of the British Isles is not as hard and fast as one would have imagined; there are mystery big cats, sea monsters, strangely coloured variants of well known species, animals only known from a handful of specimens or even less, and a body of evidence to suggest that entire new species await discovery.

“The Mystery Animals of the British Isles” launches a major new series from the publishing arm of the world’s largest mystery animals research organization. The series will cover Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland on a county-by-county basis, describing the mystery animals of the entire island group.

A review from Amazon:
The amount of research that must have been carried out to create this book is incredible. It’s great to read a book that’s so original and fresh, and not full of rehashed second and third hand stories from older books like I’ve seen so many times before! Looking forward to reading more from Neil Arnold!
