Beschreibung

<b>A fiery introduction to dragons both beastly and benevolent that draws directly from world mythology.</b><br> <br> Many cultures tell stories about dragon-like creatures - some are fearsome and others are surprisingly friendly. This gloriously illustrated compendium celebrates them all!<br> <br> Featuring snappy summaries of famous myths, and surprising facts drawn from historical sources, <i>Dragons Around the World</i> is the ultimate reference book for dragon fans the world over. Discover China's lucky Long dragon, the life-giving Rainbow Serpent from Aboriginal Australia, and Japan's pearl-clasping Ryujin among other super serpents including the many-headed Hydra from ancient Greece and St. Jordi's fearsome match, Drac. <br> <br> Author Sally Nicholls, who works for <i>History Today</i>, has drawn on the British Library's extensive cultural archives to write the text, with the help of cultural consultants. A 'Dragon Museum' at the back of the book traces each dragon's cultural origins through museum objects. Brought to life through the exquisite illustrations of Maria Francesca Melis, this book is a must-have for fans of dragons and mythology.
