Dragons di Peter Hogarth
Historically constructed narrative over dragons and their symbolism throughout time. It gives a coffee-table style exploration with plenty of neat pictures (wood engravings, paintings, drawings etc.) The book almost feels like a giant Wikipedia entry on dragons and you can find yourself "getting in a rabbit hole" of information. Picked this up at a used bookshop in Florida (and the place even looked like a dragon's hoard of books if said dragon hoarded books) and Worth a spot in your collection if you're a dragon lover like myself.… (altro)
While using a too-broad (in my opinion)definition of dragon, this book none the less provided a good deal of interesting information on a wide variety of dragon myths. Also amusingly tongue-in-cheek at times.
