Have you ever wondered what a Three-Masted Sailfish would look like? Or how flying pigs get their wings? This collection of illustrated short stories answers these questions, along with many more. Recalling a time when showmen like P.T. Barnum fascinated the public with Fiji mermaids and similar hoaxes, this book delves into a place where science and myth are one and the same. With more than fifty stories, vivid illustrations bring each fantastical tale to life. <p><i>A Compendium of Curiosities</i> brings together a playful mix of history, science, myth, and whimsy, all fully illustrated to give the reader a window into a land where imagination and reality are joyously blurred.</p>
