People have been telling stories about dragons for more than 3000 years. Five-headed dragons, fire-breathing dragons. As big as mountains, as small as dogs. Dragons that can be moody and dragons that have secrets — dragons that are brave or cowardly, smart or stupid, good or downright evil.
In The Dragon Companion, Carole Wilkinson gives you an encyclopedia of the most amazing dragon stories ever told.
Read everything about dragons — from blood and claws to the wicked dragon king of Enoshima.
It will take you round the world, back in time and into the fantastical.
