is a 2005 art book released as a tie-in to the film King Kong (2005). The book is written in the form of a field guide and natural history of the version of Skull Island and its creatures as presented in the film.
The World of Kong features a fictional natural history of the island of Skull Island, upon which much of the film King Kong (2005) takes place. The narrative in the book's introductory chapter presents the book as the result of Project Legacy, a series of seven zoological expeditions led by Carl Denham (played by Jack Black in the film) to the island between 1935 (two years after the film takes place) and 1948, when the island sank into the sea due to volcanic and geological activity.
The book features extensive artwork and descriptions of the different animals catalogued during these expeditions, descendants of various prehistoric animals that at different times in the past migrated to the island. The version of Skull Island presented in The World of Kong is the richest version of the island in terms of the sheer number of animals, featuring animals that correspond to creatures in the original film and also introducing many new ones.
The World of Kong, supervised by Peter Jackson, was one of several tie-in products released to accompany the film. It was published just before the film's premiere. The book served to highlight some of the vast amount of creature artwork created by WΔtΔ Workshop for the film, much of which depicted creatures that had not made their way into King Kong.
The choice was also made to write the book in the style of an in-universe field guide and natural history. According to WΔtΔ designer Daniel Falconer, the team often envisions deep "fictional lore" surrounding their projects and designs but The World of Kong was one of the rare cases in which they were able to present that lore, which otherwise rarely "makes it out", in an entire book.
