For the first time, the long-lost research of renowned 19th-century dragonologist Dr. Ernest Drake is presented in all its eccentric glory, bridging the gap between legend and fact. The meticulous professor assigns Latin names to dragon species, speculates on why dragons are able to speak and fly, and explains the true purpose of their notorious hoarding habit. Each page spread has an interactive element, such as tactile dragon-scale samples and a booklet of dragon riddles.
