<p><b> The definitive global anthology of writings about dragons, from Ancient Egypt to the modern day</b><br><br>Since the earliest moments of human history, dragons have occupied a place in our imaginations. Bringer of night in Ancient Egypt; mortal enemy of the elephant in South Asia; slain by a god in Sanskrit hymn. In the Book of Revelation, there is the Leviathan; in Loch Ness, a monster. Their crushing coils and their treasure hoards are found throughout literature and language: in the Old English of <i>Beowulf</i>, in the Elvish of Tolkien, in the far-flung travels of Marco Polo.<br><br><i>The Penguin Book of Dragons</i> is the definitive collection of all this and more: two thousand years of legend and lore about the menace and majesty of dragons.</p>
