The Treasure of the Loch Ness Monster

A Loch Ness Monster story inspired by local folklore which has become the classic Nessie story. This stunning picture book from award-winning author Lari Don features Nataša Ilinčić’s atmospheric illustrations of the Scottish Highlands.

Ishbel and Kenneth need to save their family from going hungry, so when they remember the old local tale about treasure under Urquhart Castle, they set off across Loch Ness in a rowing boat. But the loch may be hiding its own secrets. There’s another ancient story about a giant monster living in the depths…

Legends of the Loch Ness Monster abound, but this new tale from renowned Scottish children’s author and storyteller Lari Don sidesteps the modern Nessie to create a new Loch Ness Monster myth inspired by local folklore.

A perfect companion to bestselling picture book The Secret of the Kelpie, also by Lari Don, this timeless tale of Scotland’s most famous creature, atmospherically brought to life by Nataša Ilinčić’s stunning illustrations, is destined to become the classic Loch Ness Monster story.
