Annotation:
The history of dragon lore through the exploration of regions and type of dragons.
Personal Reaction:
It is hard to find a good dragon book that is both easy to read and interesting without either not enough information or too much. Dragons have the same kind of draw for youth as super heroes and dinosaurs. This nonfiction book explores, through an honest lens, the historical beginnings of Dragon lore. Deep dramatic illustrations draw the reader in while small boxes of facts accompany the full color pages. I found the explanation of scientists researching dragon lore, called Draconologists, very interesting. This is a must for any library collection.
