A fascinating field guide to Philippine monsters and mythology!
From award-winning authors Budgette Tan and David Hontiveros comes The
Lost Journal of Alejandro Pardo --a 19th-century cryptozoologist's
account of his encounters with the strange and magical creatures from
Philippine legends and mythology.
In this book, you'll come face-to-face with 36 mythical beasts
including:
-
The Kapre --A shape-shifter that morphs before your very eyes,
disguising itself as what you think is your dog or your mom!
-
The Mangalok --An angel-faced predator who feasts on human flesh!
-
The Pugot --A headless beast aptly described as a "living, breathing
volcano"!
-
And many more!
Pardo describes 36 fantastical animals in total, highlighting his
encyclopedic knowledge of the unique creatures found in all parts of the
Philippines (which is undeniable, even if he is a bit of a lout).
Pardo's lost journal is full of eye-witness details of his exciting
travels in search of mythical beings. Don't miss out on his
extraordinary adventures!
