The Book of the Dragon

In stunning illustrations and spellbinding text, visionary artist Ciruelo reveals the secrets of the wondrous creatures known as dragons. In paperback at last, The Book of the Dragondescribes draconic types--from Earth Dragons, Water Dragons, and Fire Dragons to the legendary Golden Dragon--and illuminates a fascinating culture filled with poetry, magic, and art. Complete with tales of such mythic heroes as Perseus and Hercules, this singular volume brings the power and mystique of dragons to glowing life.

Ciruelo was born in 1963 in Argentina. He works for prominent publishers in the US and Europe, creating fantasy art for book covers, prints, calendars, and more. He lives with his wife, Daniela, and their children, Angelo and Lys, in Sitges, a quaint and magical town near Barcelona on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
