Featuring snappy summaries of famous myths and surprising facts drawn from historical sources, Dragons Around the World is the ultimate reference book for dragon fans the world over.
Discover China’s lucky Long dragon 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.
