DRAGONS AND DRAGON LORE

Books on dragons have long proved popular with Dover readers--from studies in mythology and witchcraft to coloring books and pictorial archive collections. This fascinating, well-researched book teems with information about creatures that include powerful serpents of the deep and land-roving, fire-breathing monsters that first appeared in the creation myths of the ancient Far East. Dragons in China, Korea, and Japan are covered, as are those in Babylonian and Egyptian legends, and in Welsh, English, Irish, and French tales from the West.
