Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

A captivating exploration of the world's mysterious creatures
Legendary creatures capture our imagination in a way quite unlike those known with certainty to exist. In Mysterious Creatures, David Alderton and Akara Heart bring readers into a shadowy, uncertain realm where myth and reality collide. Their enthralling investigation unveils the tantalizing truths behind the world's most enigmatic creatures, and how they have become etched in our minds and imaginations. With meticulous research and gripping storytelling, Alderton and Heart unravel the legends of unicorns, dragons, werewolves, and more. Each chapter weaves together historical accounts, eyewitness testimonies, and cultural lore, inviting readers to question what lurks just beyond the veil of the known.
Dive beneath the waves to uncover the seductive secrets of mermaids. Trek through misty, isolated forests in search of Bigfoot or Sasquatch. Soar with the thunderbird, whose wings are said to summon storms. A perfect blend of science and wonder, skepticism and belief, Mysterious Creatures breathes life into the myths that have captivated our thoughts for generations.
