Description
Are you brave enough to enter the dragon lair? You'll discover a world of myth, magic, and mystery in this collection of extraordinary tales from around the world.
Stories of these majestic creatures - whether wise and noble or cruel and terrible - have fascinated people for centuries, and can be found in many cultures. This artfully written, opulently illustrated book brings to life dragons of all kinds, from the greatest to the smallest, from serpentine river spirits to cave-dwelling firebreathers and high-flying denizens of the heavens.
The 15 stories in this book capture the magic and awe of these magnificent creatures, and include the lucky, rain-bringing Chinese dragon, the story of Saint George, and the dragons that brought hot springs to America.
