Monsters of the Sea
Monsters of the Sea | Richard Ellis
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
In Monsters of the Sea, Richard Ellis casts his net wide in search of the most unusual aquatic creatures, from mermaids to manatees to the Loch Ness Monster and the mythical sea serpent for whom the giant squid has frequently been mistaken. Ellis examines the literary sources of sea-monster lore, from The Odyssey to Jules Verne to Peter Benchley. Highly entertaining, packed with curiosities, and backed by the author's impeccable scientific credentials.

I've always been fascinated by sea creatures of all types. This is an excellent collection of fact and myths surrounding some of the giants lurking in the depths of the ocean. The illustrations were a fun addition too.

Bingo! Yay 🎉

#Nonfiction2019 has really helped me step-up my nonfiction reading game. I've always enjoyed NF, but I'm rediscovering just how much thanks to this challenge.

The tagged book is the one I'm currently reading.
