Step into a world where myths come alive

Join Professor Mortimer and his daughter Millie on an extraordinary 18-stop world tour where legendary creatures inhabit the most famous landmarks on Earth. With the special UV torch included in this remarkable book, children can reveal hidden mythical beasts that remain completely invisible to the naked eye until illuminated.

Watch a unicorn gallop through Germany's Black Forest, come face-to-face with Bigfoot in Yosemite National Park, and see a majestic Pegasus soar over the ancient Parthenon in Greece. From dragons guarding the Great Wall of China to the mysterious Loch Ness Monster emerging from stormy waters, more than 50 magical creatures await discovery across these beautifully illustrated pages.

Created by New York Times bestselling author Emily Hawkins (writing as Professor Mortimer) and brought to life through the award-winning artwork of Victo Ngai, this interactive adventure beautifully blends geography, history, and mythology.

Suitable for children aged 7 years and up
