Naturally, he went on to medical school himself when he grew up. He became a great doctor who specialized in the mutated growth of human beings. So...
I'm pretty unclear on the fiction to non-fiction ratio going on in this book (mythical creatures notwithstanding). However, having endured several semesters of the history of science and cranked out more than one term paper on curiosity cabinets, I can safely say that almost all of this could have b...

The book is broken up into two sections - first, the biography of the fictional anatomist, Dr. Spencer Black and s...
