| Summary |
"Dragons have been culturally significant for thousands of years-and they're still a part of today's pop culture. Delving deep into the mythology of dragons across the globe, this intriguing text also informs readers about possible scientific explanations, such as mistaking dinosaur bones for dragon bones. Among the dragons in the discussion are the antagonists in Beowulf and the Saint George story and the many dragon gods of ancient Chinese and Japanese myths. Beautiful images, exciting stories, and historical facts abound in this entertaining and well-designed volume, which is an excellent addition to any social studies collection"-- Provided by publisher. |
