Product Description |
For true believers only, a lavishly illustrated reproduction of a legendary volume by the world’s most distinguished dragonologist. Don’t let it fall into the wrong hands!
Do you believe in dragons? Now, for the first time, the long-lost research of renowned nineteenth century dragonologist Dr. Ernest Drake is presented in all its eccentric glory, happily bridging the gap between dragon legend and fact. The meticulous Dr. Drake assigns Latin names to various dragon species, ruminates on why dragons are able to speak, speculates on how they could fly, and explains the true purpose of their notorious hoarding habits. Here are just a few of DRAGONOLOGY'S fascinating features:
— Novelty item on every spread, including tactile samples of dragon wings, dragon scales, and dragon skin
— Booklet of dragon riddles (indispensable to the burgeoning dragonologist)
— Sealed envelope containing a powerful dragon-calling spell
— Embossed faux leather cover with silver foil, encrusted with three dragon gems
In his afterword, Dr. Drake reveals that one of the crucial goals of dragonologists is to preserve the magnificent creatures of their study wherever possible - a goal this tongue-in-cheek volume most affectionately achieves. An incomparable gift for secret dragonologists everywhere! |

My nephew likes the information about the many types of dragons that are discussed in this book. He thinks that this book is a good book for twelve year olds who are interested in dragons. Eric |

Great illustrations |
|
The illustrations in this book are really beautiful. I was drawn to the watercolor paintings in this book. If you're a hard core dragon fan, there aren't too many interesting dragon facts in here. I'd say this book is worth getting for its art, not for its content (if you are an adult anyway) |

My grandson recently stated that he was "into" dragons. With that in mind this was an early Christmas purchase. Well I have to say that I am thoroughly pleased with this purchase; it almost makes me wish that I was a girl again as any child going through the pages of this book is going to experience an adventure. |

this book is really nice,, it is made to look old but is actually new, if you are at all into dragon books or any of the "Harry potter" type of stuff, as my nephew (10 years old)is you wont be disapointed in this book,, he loved it, he carts it around everywhere, spending hours looking at each page, worth every penny i paid |
