Add to basketPaperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Dragons and Dragon Lore is a remarkably complete compilation of primary source material- quotes and tales spanning centuries of time and a dozen cultures, on the topic of everything draconic. From the Hindu nagas to the tale of St. George, to the various categories of dragons in Chinese and Japanese mythology, this text was, for its era, about as complete a work as could be made. While written from a rationalists' perspective, nine parts skepticism to one part appreciation for the biological overlap of the subject, it nonetheless relates enough tales taken literally in their time to be of significance within cryptozoology, not just folklore itself.
