Terra Ultima: The discovery of a new continent

This book has the most amazing creative, inspirational illustrations, a joy to behold fir adults children.

So happy whit this

I spotted this in a bookshop but as it is a large format, I decided to order it online. I love this delicious fantasy about trips to an undiscovered world occupied by fantastic creatures which somehow look familiar while also being pure imagination. The illustrations are really the point of this book and they are amazing. Beautiful and off-the-wall combinations of animals we know into the truly strange. It’s not a thick book, and I would be delighted to see more.

Love it! For all ages, great quality!

Utterly stunning and completely captivating, I spent a glorious afternoon discovering all I could about the newly discovered continent. Exquisitely detailed notes and illustrations capture a place, and its inhabitants, so far unharmed by humanity. The creatures catalogued within these pages are as strange and unbelievable as those Darwin must have introduced after his expedition to the Galapagos.Amidst the curious creatures, are the exploration notes, detailing the physical geography, and the hardships faced on each expedition to uncover all of the wonders Terra Ultima has to offer. I found these utterly compelling, and loved the sketches accompanying them.I would love the chance to see some of the creatures in real life, especially the lapin guin, but totally understand why Terra Ultima’s location has never been divulged. However, the vibrant array of wildlife, landscapes, and ecosystems depicted not only showcase the biological diversity of the continent but also transport readers to its lush forests and mysterious waters without having to leave the safety of your sofa.With multiple uses in the classroom, this is a must for KS2 where staff and children will love it. It will have huge appeal for non-fiction fans and with it’s large format, I can really see it being shared by children pointing out details out to each other as a pleasure browser to return to time and again. It left me wondering what else is out there at the edge of our maps and the limits of our imaginations.

This is a lovely hard back large size book. Before wrapping this present up, I could not help to get drawn into the original special story - delightful for young and old! The illustrations are original and beautifully detailed. I really love this book, and I am sure the recipient will be extremely delighted! Great price! Highly recommend for all ages, young children to elderly!
