Before I Scramble Down the Tree
The Land of Chinese New Year will soon be chugging off, but before it goes I must tell you about two wonderful books of dragons: Dragonology, the Complete book of Dragons and The Dragonology Handbook published by Candlewick Press. Both are exquisite, have a vintage look about them and are aimed at those who wish to make a serious study of the various dragons of the world. Perhaps the Jade Emperor would enjoy one, or we may have students among us who are searching for a new and unusual subject to pursue. Anyone who makes or admires altered books will also appreciate the fold-outs, envelopes, and other "fancies" the books contain.
Warning: dragons are not to be studied carelessly, they are formidable creatures and "dabbling" in this study just to encounter one is highly discouraged.

yes, Believer, these are gorgeous books - I have both, and a copy of Wizardology - the Secrets of Merlin. Truly magical and full og surprises.
Hi Gail,
Oh, you are lucky! The day I was writing this there was a beautiful page on the Candlewick site Candlewick that showed the big book. By the time I went to add the link, they had removed it. It's a shame, I really wanted folks to see them.
don't tempt me ...........
