New Releases by Diz Wallis

Ce volume présente un compte rendu apparemment inédit de l''une des découvertes préhistoriques les plus captivantes de l''univers. Il a été édité d''après un manuscrit destiné à la publication, dont la rédaction fut interrompue de manière soudaine et ce, alors qu''il était bien avancé. En plus du manuscrit et des illustrations, il contenait un vieux carnet abîmé et écorné, faisant état de curiosités non confirmées, mais fascinantes. Les écrits, en partie illisibles, ont été restaurés et mis à jour par les éditeurs, conformément aux souhaits de la famille Fitzgibbon.

Iridescent humming birds flitting though the trees, a leathery alligator slouching into the Mississippi, a sleek leopard stealing through the jungle: these and literally hundreds of other creatures great and small inhabit a meticulously researched and lovingly rendered universe.
