The World's Last Mammoth and Other Missing Marvels

From the missing pages of the Library of Alexandria to the whereabouts of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, this book is a treasure trove of mysterious and long-gone things: absent animals, bygone buildings, missing monarchs, past palaces and more... But all is NOT lost - along the way you'll also find the survivors and modern marvels of things gone by.

Explore the lost splendour of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, ponder the fate of historical figures like Cleopatra or Genghis Khan and unravel the mystery behind Amelia Earhart's disappearance. Ever wondered what happened to the landline telephone? Gone the way of the dinosaurs - replaced by the all-powerful smartphone! And what about the humble typewriter? A distant clickety-clack in the halls of history, gathering more dust than an old dial-up modem. This book is a thrilling exploration of things long gone but never forgotten. Be warned - you may find yourself getting lost in laughter along the way!
