History's Mysteries: Curious Clues, Cold Cases, and Puzzles From the Past Review: Fascinating. - I thoroughly enjoyed reading this well-researched, and engagingly told account of a variety of mysteries. There are 7 chapters and each chapter discusses several different mysteries related to that topic. Topics include vanished civilizations, unexplained deaths and disappearances, creatures of myth and legend, freaky phenomena, mystifying monuments, and cryptic codes and lost languages. Individual topics cover everything from the Mary Celeste, yetis, Anastasia, and Atlantis. I found the information interesting and well-organized. Each section is beautifully and attractively designed. Each section gives a brief background, before providing additional details involving clues, and closing with various theories related to the described mystery. This book makes for a great read cover to cover or some fun browsing. Review: Good Price, Good Quality - Early arrivals, no protection but still good quality with good price.

Great find!
This book is fantastic! Well organized, very informative and fun. Contents in the front of the book state the category, but if you want to search for something specific, there is also an index in the back.

Kids Love it
I have an 8 and 6 year old and they're getting to that age where mysterious things interest them. They've skipped a few stories because they were too scary, but overall this has been a great reading for them.
