Book Description

August 2006
From time immemorial, dragons have walked and flown in the minds of men.

Nearly every culture on Earth has myths of these mighty beings. Anywhere humans have set foot, one can find dragonlore. Even today these majestic creatures captivate and amaze us. They appear in our movies and fantasy novels, and abound in traditional and virtual role-playing games (RPGs).

Dragonlore recounts the stories of dragons from Europe, Asia and the Americas, from the sea serpents Leviathan and Nessie to Lewis Carroll's Jabberwock. This richly-illustrated book examines dragons in modern culture and the natural world, including the pterodactyl and other saurians, whose fossilized bones were inexplicable and awe-inspiring discoveries. And don't forget about the Komodo Dragon, the largest lizard alive today.

Come, walk with author and dragon lore expert Ashley DeKirk...in the shadow of the dragon.Each volume in the series, titled the Archives of the Grey School of Wizardry, will be written by faculty members and introduced and edited by Headmaster and wizard Oberon Zell-Ravenheart.

These textbooks will form a comprehensive library that Magick-users everywhere will wish they'd had during their own apprentice years. Following the 16 departments of the Grey School, the Archives will provide in-depth looks at the Wizarding world with favorite topics such as dragonlore, naturalist studies, magickal healing, herbology, divination, cosmology, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dragonlore makes you want more!, August 9, 2006
By 
FrogsDancing "FD" (Quakertown, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oberon Zell Presents Dragonlore: From the Archives of the Grey School of Wizardry (Paperback)
8/9/06

Wow! I really enjoyed reading this book. It is packed full of information on dragons old and new. The dragons of the Far East and Europe are here. I didn't realize how many dragons called North America home, and I live there. I have to admit that I never thought or heard of dragons from Africa or Oceania, but guess what, they are here too. Some of the better known myths and legends are covered in the book, whetting one's appetite for more.
I particularly enjoyed Chapter 3 "Dragons in the Modern Realm". Dungeons and Dragons, along with its subsets, "Dragonlance" and "Forgotten Realms" are covered. But if you have children, I bet you never even thought of Yu-Gi-Oh!
or Pokemon as being keepers of dragonlore. But you would be wrong. Both are full of dragons. "Dragons in Film", reminded me of some old favorites like the "Neverending Story", with Falkor, the luck dragon. I personally feel that the "Dragons in Literature", can add this book to its ranks.
Anyone with an interest in dragons will enjoy this book. I can think of at least two DMs who will be receiving this book as a Christmas/Yule gift from me. Even my husband, who is not usually a reader, has expressed interest in this book. And that is something. Please keep more of these books coming. FrogsDancing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful "Dragon reference", May 4, 2007
By 
Todd Hawley (San Francisco CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Oberon Zell Presents Dragonlore: From the Archives of the Grey School of Wizardry (Paperback)
It seems many of us are captivated by dragons. These majestic creatures seem larger than life in all of the lore associated with them. Leopard Dancer's book has taken this fascination and described the various "species" and types of dragons. From a general description of what a dragon is, to the various types (be them wurms, pythons, or drakes, just to name a couple of types), and dragons from various parts of the world, this book goes a long way in explaining all of them.

The book also has a section devoted to dragon myths of the world, dragons in film and books, even so-called "living dragons" of today. The author has done an excellent job in putting this book together. If you have an interest in dragons and wish to learn more, this book is a great place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, September 26, 2006
This review is from: Oberon Zell Presents Dragonlore: From the Archives of the Grey School of Wizardry (Paperback)
I just received the book today, and I've had a hard time putting it down. I have never seen a more complete discussion of dragons, from around the world, and through the ages. If you have any interest in the legends and lore of dragons, this book is for you.
