Inside the book

Inside the book

For young explorers who love a real mystery.

The past is full of clues. Some still have no answer: the book next to polaroids of unsolved cases on a wooden table.

The past is full of clues

From the stones of Stonehenge to a signal from deep space: step into history’s strangest cases and decide for yourself what really happened.

Four chapter openings of History’s Epic Mysteries in a row: The Secrets of Stonehenge, The Voynich Manuscript, The Loch Ness Monster, Area 51.

One case per chapter

Stonehenge, the Voynich Manuscript, the Loch Ness Monster, Area 51: each case opens with its own number and title, then the facts.
