Spook's Bestiary: 16 (The Wardstone Chronicles, 16)

The Wardstone Chronicles are one of my, if not my, favourite book series ever written and Joseph Delaney is a brilliant writer who can deliver chills and action as well as a gripping storyline and a cast of well drawn characters. This book is a replica of the Spook's very own bestiary that is mentioned frequently throughout the series. It's more than that though, yes it is loaded with interesting information about all of the dark, evil creatures that inhabit the books, but it is crammed with extra notes and plenty of short stories to appease those waiting in high anticipation for the next novel in the series.Delaney's trademarks are all over the pages, from the creepy, vivid descriptions to the assides written by Tom. There are also loads of illustrations that are detailed and match Delaney's descriptions perfectly as well as mirroring the eerie, spooky atmosphere that is clear throughout the books.If you are a fan of the series then this is a vital addition to your collection as it provides insights into the world of the Spook and the creatures he and Tom battle as well as some hints and developments of plot details.

This book is a great reference material for writers who wish to save on some research time, you'll find the creatures here line up with traditional legends quite accurately. The writer of the spooks series beautifully set this book up like a prop from the book itself, it's a delight to read and I still have it even after finishing the series.

My son loves this series - he is 10 and has read all of them

Great series, my son has read everything that this author has written!

I bought this book for my mum for her birthday, as we are both huge fans of the Spook's series. I haven't given it to her yet but from what I've seen of the book it is brilliant, (I spent a couple of hours absolutely absorbed in it!), with incredible drawings and lots of information on literally every creature in the books and some that aren't.Overall, it clarifies a lot of information in the books and is also presented very nicely - a true collectors item for any fan!

Good book

My son borrowed a copy from the local library loved it so much I had to get him a copy as I kept having pay overdue fines
