Corydon and the Island of Monsters is the first instalment of the Corydon Trilogy, penned by Tobias Druitt; a pseudonym for a mother-son writing combination. It was published in the United Kingdom by Simon and Schuster in 2005, and in the United States by A. A. Knopf in 2006, and distributed by Random House.

The book draws on classical Greek mythology and follows Corydon, an outcast boy, neglected because of his goat foot. According to WorldCat, almost 500 libraries have copies of the book.[1]
