Solomon Fox is an orphan who unwittingly inherits a fortune. However, his evil uncle Cornelius Munroe stands to gain from this inheritance if Solomon is no longer around, and so puts in place several ghastly plans to ensure that Solomon cannot claim what is rightfully his.

After being kidnapped by his evil uncle and held captive in a castle, Solomon and a stray cat, Mr Barnaby, escape and, with the help of various friendly people, including a witch called Annabella, a friendly solicitor, and a young girl called April, attempt to stay out of the clutches of the uncle, intent on Solomon’s demise.

Will Solomon succeed? Or will his wicked uncle have his dastardly ways and steal the inheritance?

From ghosts that haunt lonely convict-era buildings, to the mythical bunyip that lurks in lonely waterways, and alien big cats that prowl dense forested mountains. Add to these the Yowie, a huge hairy man reputed to live in these primaeval, forested climes, somewhat like the Bigfoot of American legend. Could these incredulous creatures exist?

Australia is a land of desolate sweeping plains, isolated beaches, remote, lonely lakes, rugged mountain ranges covered in thick forests where humans rarely visit, in fact, may have never visited. It is a place full of dangerous creatures; however, these do not concern us as, in this book, we will examine what can only be described as strange and unusual reports of creatures, places and phenomena that are alleged to exist in this ancient ocean-bound continent.

Britain is a land of legends, myths and half-remembered stories from times past. It is a place of broad sweeping moors, dark dense forests, fern-choked glades, sparkling mountain streams, deep lakes and overgrown graveyards that sit next to ancient churches. It is a place where the natural lives in harmony with the supernatural, where the light and dark are sometimes lost in the gloaming, and where strange creatures have been reported for hundreds of years.
