Freeman, Richard Explore Dragons
United Kingdom Explore Books (an Imprint of Heart of Albion Press) 2006 1872883931 / 9781872883939 Soft Cover New
This book is brand new. The dragon is the most ancient and widespread of all monsters. Dragon legends are told in every culture and in every continent on Earth. Its breath condenses and forms rain in China. It slithers across the heavens in Mexico as Quetzalcoatl. In Scandinavian lore its coils encircled the whole earth. No other monster is so universal in its occurrence or so varied. But the Britain Isles are the homeland of the dragon. Although a small country, it is seething with dragon legends. Explore Dragons puts British dragon stories into their international context and attempts to fathom out what really lurks behind these fanciful tales. Could dragons once have been real creatures? Are such creatures still alive? Richard Freeman is a former zookeeper and has a degree in zoology. He is the zoological director of the Centre for Fortean Zoology in Exeter. A full-time cryptozoologist, he has searched for monsters and mystery animals in Indo-China, Sumatra, and Mongolia as well as in the UK. 'If you are in any way, shape or form interested in tales of dragons... then this is a book definitely worth investing in.' Nick Redfern See Nick Redfern's online review: '... as an introduction Explore Dragons, like the others in the 'Explore' series, fulfills its purpose admirably.' Bob Rickard Fortean Times '... even as a knowledgeable and committed dragonologist, I learned a lot.' Paul Screeton Folklore Frontiers '... a wonderful book.' D.J. Tyrer The Supplement '... this book convinces me that [dragon legends] might well have an origin in actual experience... ' n Rimmer Magonia 'An enjoyable and well-written book that will find favour among folklorists and fantasists alike. Highly recommended' Merry Meet Published by Explore Books, an imprint of Heart of Albion Press. ISBN 978-1-872883-939. 2006 Demy 8vo (215 x 138 mm), 187 + viii pages, 7 b&w photographs, 13 line drawings, paperback.
