These creatures are brought to life with interior line art by the amazingly talented Tomislav Tomic and a spectacular cover by Jonny Duddle.
Features to aid accessibility include RNIB-approved and dyslexia-friendly fonts and font sizes, tinted paper for glare reduction and maximum contrast, captions and detailed descriptions to accompany each illustration, and themed navigational aids to assist the reader.
An approved textbook at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry since publication, Newt Scamanderβs masterpiece has entertained wizarding families through the generations. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an indispensable introduction to the magical beasts of the wizarding world. Scamanderβs years of travel and research have created a tome of unparalleled importance. Some of the beasts will be familiar to readers of the Harry Potter books β the Hippogriff, the Basilisk, the Hungarian Horntail ... Others will surprise even the most ardent amateur Magizoologist. Dip in to discover the curious habits of magical beasts across five continents.
A contribution from the sale of each book will go to Comic Relief and Lumos.
