a little history of dragons

Why are dragons recognized in almost all cultures on Earth? What is the mysterious geomantic gold they secretly guard? Could dragons be a folk memory of something that once hunted us?

In this beautiful little book, Joyce Hargreaves tells the story of these extraordinary animals through examples drawn from all over the world. Richly illustrated and with detailed appendices of notable dragon sites around the world, this is an essential and timeless book.

Joyce Hargreaves is a writer and illustrator. Also the author of the Book of Fabulous Beasts, she lives with her husband, Brian Hargreaves, the butterfly painter, in Sussex.
