CIRUELO LORD OF THE DRAGONS The Book of the Dragon

Everything you could ever want to know about the mythology of dragons, beautifully illustrated by a master artist. Ciruelo Cabral, an illustrator of astounding skill, delves into their secret universe, revealing a rich and fascinating culture filled with poetry, magic, enchantment, and knowledge. We encounter many different types (Earth Dragons, Water Dragons, Fire Dragons, and the legendary Golden Dragon); learn about their long-held customs, and explore the many legends in which they have figured so prominently -- including the heroic tales of Perseus, Hercules, and Tristan. We learn about their fascination with art and jewels; their magic and voices; mating; their young; scales and skeletons; coloring and much more. 16 unique dragon legends are explored, from The Golden Apples and Jason and Medea, to Sybaris, Cadmus, Tristan, the Tarasque, La Bibria, Mont Blanc, Siegfried and Fafnir....and more. We handled several fine art books by Ciruelo in the past; we'd frequently see him at San Diego Comic Con where he had a booth for many years. He's a very accomplished artist from South America and his portrayals of dragons have always been among his most popular work. - Bud
