Summary

With their remarkable behaviors and unique anatomy, it's hardly surprising that octopuses have captivated our imagination for centuries. But there is so much more to this misunderstood and spellbinding creature. Unravel the secrets of this astonishing animal and explore its mystifying world with The Little Book of the Octopus.

Learn about the rich folklore and myths that surround them, from ancient maritime legends to symbolic meanings across cultures, and journey through their diverse habitats and history.
