I was totally blown away when I opened up the package containing this stunning book, my imagination completely captured by the fantastical creatures dreamed up by Raoul to inhabitant a hidden continent completely unspoilt by mankind- Terra Ultima.

The entire book is based on the premise that a mysterious new continent has just been discovered and been documented for the first time based on the archives of adventurer, Mr Deleo.

It contains a mixture of journal entires, scientific notes, and beautifully detailed diagrams & illustrations, all woven together by the narrative of fellow explorer, Noah J. Stern.

I could easily see this book being used in a classroom to spark the ideas and imagination necessary to perhaps create a further biome within this hidden continent or to conjure up even more hybrid creatures to inhabitant its lands.

It would also be a wonderful gift for anyone who likes to travel new worlds from the safety of their homes or to pore over meticulously created illustrations.

Gorgeous!

Jo.
