A Natural History of Dragons

A Natural History of Dragons is a complete guide to dragons from around the world, from ancient lore and superstitions to their anatomy, behaviour and lifecycles.

Description

Dragons have been the misunderstood subject of folklore for generations... but are these stories just legends, or is there any truth to these majestic creatures' fiery reputations?

Presented as a handbook from the late 1800s written for the students of the Academie Solomonar: the only school for dragon-riders, this beautiful volume sets out to reveal the hidden world of dragons. Within these pages, you will meet mysterious and majestic dragons from around the globe, read about ancient lore and superstitions, learn about their life cycle, anatomy, habits, and habitats, and discover the secrets behind dragon flight.

This exquisitely illustrated album, which delves deep into the world of dragons, will delight all true-believers and fantasy enthusiasts.

Following on from A Natural History of Fairies, A Natural History of Magick, A Natural History of Mermaids, and A Natural History of Magical Beasts, this vintage guide is part of the Folklore Field Guides series: a charming collection of beautifully illustrated compendiums on topics of lore and legend. Fascinating facts are accompanied by breathtaking illustrations, all presented in an engaging narrative form.
