The Little Book Of Dragons

Whether they breathe fire from above, spit poison on the land, or cause maelstroms in the sea, dragons can be found in legends around the world. They have many guises: primordial chaos-monsters, wise and auspicious guardians, formidable foes, comic companions, and the ne plus ultra of aerial warfare in modern fantasy. Their history is slippery and twisting: they constantly double back on themselves and coil around both landscape and our imagination. This book explores Bestiary Dragons, Flying and Fiery Dragons, Water Dragons and Sea-Serpents, Saints and Dragons, Contemporary Dragons – and more.
