Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons (Ology Series)

Product Information

This book purports to be the facsimile of an original published on a print run of 100 copies in 1895, of which a copy was recently found in a bookshop near the Seven Dials in London. Unfortunately, the publisher has been unable to ascertain whether a real Dr. Ernest Drake ever lived in St. Leonard's Forest or wrote a book called Dragonology and so, with regret, is unable to make any claim as to the truth of this and must present this volume merely as an interesting curiosity.

Dragonology is the formal study of creatures known as dragons, past, and present, as well as their conservation.

The books were written by Doctor Ernest Drake, a Dragonologist (a scientist who studies dragons), and were written in the 1800s. The books are re-created for modern audiences by editor Dugald A Steer, with other contributors credited as Helen Ward ("Scientific Artist"), Douglas Carrel ("Chief Draughtsman"), Wayne Anderson ("Pictorial Artist"), and Nghiem Ta ("Artistic Direction").

Many dragons are said to breath fire, which is false, as they use toxins in their mouths to create fire, poison, or in the case of the Frost Dragon, a blast of ice! As far as body coverings go, all of them have scales somewhere, though some do have skin, and even feathers.

This dragon is famed for its mighty appetite, eating whole herds of elephants and rhinos and feasting upon hippos although it eats any large herbivores (except for giraffes which, dragonologists speculate, they find too boney) which they herd together with their fiery breath.
