About this deal

And the illustrations are a beautiful depiction of what makes Scotland great -- mystery, beauty and magic! Discover the joy of reading with us, your trusted source for affordable books that do not compromise on quality. i?'s illustrations are emotionally evocative, walking the line perfectly between creating a monster that is awe-inspiring and terrifying -- especially in one heart-stopping spread, when the children first see the creature's huge shadow circling underneath their rowboat -- yet eventually gentle and maternal.

A new edition, rewritten and with fresh new images, of a Pitkin classic that examines the evidence and the various sitings on this perennial mystery. The illustrations provide opportunities to discuss the existence - or not - of the Loch Ness Monster, castles, wildlife in and around Loch Ness and waterways of Scotland. The Spicer account of 1933 is the great classic ‘land sighting’, recounted in every Nessie-themed book.

Reloaded is, to quote its author, essentially a long-form appendix to The Loch Ness Mystery Solved, but it isn’t at all dry or tedious. As custodians of unique and rare treasures, nothing makes us more proud than finding them the right home.

She holds an MA in Creative Writing from Lancaster University and a PhD in Psychology from the University of Durham.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Ishbel and Kenneth need to save their family from going hungry, so when they remember the old local tale about treasure under Castle Urquhart, they set off across Loch Ness in a rowing boat.

In view of all this, the time is right for an addendum to Solved, and thus we find The Loch Ness Mystery Reloaded (Binns 2017). The dreamlike illustrations from Nataša Ilinčić match the story perfectly, dark and fascinating against majestic landscapes. I think the wonderful illustrations, along with a beautifully told tale, in simple language is a triumph! Ishbel and Kenneth need to save their family from going hungry, so when they remember the old local tale about treasure under Urquhart Castle, they set off across Loch Ness in a rowing boat.

Furthermore, Spicer wasn’t a quiet, impartial witness, reluctantly discussing his encounter when door-stepped by thirsty journalists, but extraordinarily enthusiastic, garrulous and boastful about it, his own writings making him sound wide-eyed and credulous. I was a believer once, I remind you, and I’ve said all sorts of silly things supporting the existence of monsters that my critics never seem to be aware of.
