Did you know ... Smaug hoarded all that treasure to impress the lady dragons?

Was there a Dr. Ernest Drake? We may never know but, accordingly, in 1895 he was the scholarly genius behind this learned tome on dragons.

I grew up loving dragons ... doodling them in the margins of my school notes and sculpting them with Play-Doh. I thought my fascination had passed until I discovered this book. The concept is imaginative and interactive in a Nick Bantock sort of way and the illustrations intricate and detailed. Myths, legends, spells and pieces of dragon skin to feel ... it's all inside. There are even envelopes and secret flaps to open and explore.With its embossed cover and embedded jewels, this book will become a prized possession you'll want to share with your friends.

In the two years since this book was published (republished?) several companion books have sprung up. They're great, too!

You'll believe again!
