HERE THERE BE DRAGONS HC

Oxford, 1917. A professor is found dead, and an undergraduate has been given a book, the "Imaginarium Geographica," an atlas of imaginary places. He is told that this book is the reason the professor was murdered and it is now the young man's responsibility to safeguard it, even though it may jeopardize his own life. Chased by ferocious Wendigo, the young man and his two companions take refuge on a ship - a ship that leads them to the extraordinary lands mapped in the volume they carry. Their adventure takes them through places known from myth, legend, the Bible, and classic literature. But as the friends travel, they learn that events in the known world mirror those in the imaginary realm, and if they don't succeed in protecting the book, then there will be no peace from the war that rages in their world.
