From publisher Jonathan Downes (CFZ Press):

"After months of work, this remarkable book is finally available. It is the bulkiest book we have ever done, and with over 270,000 words the longest apart from 'Monster Hunter' and 'Dragons: More than a Myth?'

Neil is to be congratulated for such an extraordinary piece of writing. A large proportion of the book concerns big cats, but as Neil - despite his detractors - is one of the leading mystery cat researchers in the country, this is hardly surprising.However, what makes it so much better than yer run of the mill 'big cat' books which seem to be largely rehashed press cuttings, and in which the sentence "...err it was black, it had a long tail and looked like my Labrador,"seem to be repeated over and over again ad nauseam, this is the first-hand story of years of dedication and hands-on research.

The non-cat chapters are equally as interesting, covering a whole gamut of subjects from out-of-place animals to what Neil calls the 'nameless anomalies' which would not be out of place in an episode of 'The X-Files' from about ten years ago.I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It's only £14.99 which is hardly extortionate in this day and age, and in the unlikely instance that you don't like it, it is so substantial that you can use it as a door stop, throw it at your dog, or wrap it in a pillow-case to make a handy cosh, and tootle on down to your nearest sub-post office. Well done mate."

The book.

For centuries people have reported seeing strange, large cats in the county of Kent. Such animals have only been researched for the last twenty years.

Neil Arnold runs KENT BIG CAT RESEARCH, the counties only official investigation into reports and evidence of large, exotic cats. Black leopard, puma and lynx have been reported in the 'Garden of England', alongside sightings of other unusual animals, from exotic reptiles to wallabies.

MYSTERY ANIMALS OF KENT is the result of twenty-years of field work into these animals. Creatures of folklore, strange beasts of fact. With no stone unturned, Neil chronicles his adventures in search of the 'beast' of Blue Bell Hill, the UK's weirdest village, and the large cats of Bluewater, Ashford, Sheppey, Sussex and London outskirts.

Forget 'The Blair Witch Project', this is a real adventure in search of the unknown, the hidden and the elusive. The first book of its kind, at 400-pages, a volume twenty years in the making, packed with photo's, full to the brim with hundreds of eye-witness reports, and Neil's personal encounters with mysterious cats.
