Another Mythos Picture Book...


Whatley, Bruce (illus.) & Rosie Smith, "Whatley's Quest", Angus & Robertson/HarperCollins Publishers, Pymble, NSW, Australia, 1994.

Quarto; hardcover with illustrated boards and decorated endpapers; unpaginated (50pp.), with many full-colour illustrations. Near fine in like dustwrapper.

More Mythos strangeness from the kid’s department at work.

I know the name is spelt slightly differently from the Dunwich Whateleys, but it’s pretty darn close. And this Whatley is a wizard too, just like old Noah! And the page for the letter “O” features a pretty Ominous-looking Octopus. Who knows what sanity-blasting secrets are being disseminated by means of this cartoon-y puzzle book?

Those Whateleys: ya gotta watch ‘em!
