(In het Nederlands gelezen) Ik had dit boek graag moeten lezen toen ik een kind was. Het is een goed geschreven boek dat plaatsvindt in Victoriaans Engeland, vol met draken en spannende avonturen.

Re-reads will tell me whether I can use these books as references for any dragon novels I may (will) end up writing eventually. Either way, they're fun, beautiful and sometimes all you need is whimsy.
For anyone interested in writing about or drawing dragons, it proves invaluable, with it's wealth of high-quality artwork and descriptions on the creatures. For fleshing out your idea of dragons for your fantasy art or novels, it's perfect, and anyone with artistic sense will adorable the effort put...
