I received this dragon-lovely book from my dragon-child, Carolina.
You are seeing the cover, the image hardly doing justice to the richness and sheer lusciousness of it. It is deeply embossed, heavy book stock with three green orbs imbedded around the center circle. The interior, cover to cover, is full of the eminent Dr. Ernest Drake's knowledge and advice to would-be dragonologists regarding the study and pursuit of dragons. Here's an example:
Spell to Catch a DragonAs a full-fledged metal dragon myself (metal, I believe in the Chinese astrological system?), I am thoroughly enjoying reading Dr. Drake's well-informed publication.
Take a mirror and sprinkle it with dragon dust. Then place a sapphire or other treasure outside the dragon's lair. When the dragon emerges to investigate the gemstone, quickly bring out the mirror so that the dragon see its own reflection. Cry, "Ecce Narcisso Dragonus Attractivae!" This spell will tame the dragon -- but watch out when it wears off! (For a small sample of dragon dust, see Appendix II.)
All dragons would do well to read this timely treatise.
