Mythical Dragon Books

In Contrary to popular opinion, dragon books have existed for thousands of years, across the entire globe, in every civilization. Some portrayed dragons as demons, other as spirits of nature and others as otherworldly beings but wherever dragons appeared they always had common attributes. They were powerful, uncompromising forces of nature and any who provoked them risked his life and soul.

Sometimes dragons represented the powers of the skies or the rivers. Other times dragons were huge underwater monsters representing the power of the deep places of the earth. Some dragons were actually gods, revered and worshiped by their peoples. Dragons were also seen as responsible for rain and typhoon in Asian civilizations.
Of course, the most common reference and the thing dragon books in all ages looked at were actual references to living creatures, from lizards and crocodiles (see Komodo Dragon) to dinosaurs, from Tyrannosaurus Rex to Ichthyosaur.
