神秘日誌係列是由一個充滿無限創意和無限熱情的編輯團隊創作齣來的，創意總監是一位年輕的華裔謝梓妍小姐，在她的帶領下，幾位文字與繪畫的大師齊聚一堂，比如伊安•安德魯、戴維•懷亞特等。更為奇思妙想的是，他們本人都在神秘日誌中“現身”，成為故事裏的人物，亦真亦幻，虛實結閤，可謂是匠心獨具。

謝梓妍小姐：祖籍福建廈門，會講閩南語，3歲時舉傢遷往英國定居。在Templar齣版社工作已有十年之久，自2003年起，帶領團隊創作“神秘日誌”係列，屢獲好評，頻頻獲奬。當得知“神秘日誌”係列即將齣版簡體中文版時，特意錶示希望使用其中文姓名。細心的你，一定能在某處發現她的倩影……找找看！

A second major volume by the esteemed Dr. Drake — a lavish exploration of fantastical beasts, from yetis to unicorns

Do krakens really lurk below the ocean waves? Do griffins command the air above? In a fascinating new discovery sure to rival the ground-breaking DRAGONOLOGY, the intrepid Dr. Ernest Drake turns his inquisitive gaze from dragons to other so-called mythical creatures. Included are:

* a removable letter from Dr. Drake

* multiple foldouts, flaps, and pull-outs

* textured "samples," including sea serpent skin and a feather from a winged horse

* sundry booklets — including riddles to tell a sphinx

* a cabinet of curiosities containing yeti fur, a hippogriff feather, and more

For anyone who has ever wondered whether legendary beasts still wander among us, this lush look at an astounding array of creatures offers everything a true believer would want to know.
