Description
Enter the mysterious world of these real-life monsters of the deep.
Giant squid are quite likely the legendary sea serpents and kraken early seafarers feared were lurking in the dark ocean, poised to drag ships to the bottom.
For centuries, thrilling takes and images of these monsters spread around the globe, shaping the public image of the animals that became known as "devilfish."
Yet the world did not truly believe that giant squid existed until the 1870s, when record numbers of the creatures appeared in the waters around the island of Newfoundland. Jaw-dropping photographs in international newspapers and physical specimens sent to Ivy League laboratories accomplished what eyewitness accounts could not: prove beyond doubt that giant squid are real.
In this richly illustrated history, author Jenny Higgins informs and delights with myths, facts, and stories of giant squid in the North Atlantic Ocean. Devilfish contains more than 130 images, 11 pull-out facsimile archival documents - and a stunning 3-D giant squid pop-up.
