The Channel Islands have an ancient and unique oral tradition of ghosts, monsters and otherworldly beings. This illustrated collection of tales brings into a modern setting the old legends of hearth fairies, changelings, werewolves and storm witches as well as the long-clawed, pond-dwelling Cocangne, the spectral Blianche Danme, the scarecrow-like La Vioge and the ship-wrecking Syraines of Sorel Point.
The Channel Islands have a rich legacy of interwoven folklore, an antique tapestry full of faery creatures and mythical beasts. Here you will find fantastic adventures and fearsome fairytales, tall tales, horrors and high romance.
In this exquisitely illustrated compendium, Channel Island Monsters weaves a web of deliciously dark stories from centuries of fables and their fragments. The werewolves, mermaids, changelings and dragons may seem familiar, but there are also monsters which are strange and unique to the Channel Islands. La Vioge, La Cocangne, Le Belengi and L'Emanue are ancient creatures waiting to be rediscovered, with their eyes still shining and their claws still sharp.
