From time immemorial, dragons have walked and flown in the minds of men.

Nearly every culture on Earth has myths of these mighty beings. Anywhere
humans have set foot, one can find dragonlore. Even today these majestic
creatures captivate and amaze us. They appear in our movies and fantasy
novels, and abound in traditional and virtual role-playing games (RPGs).

Dragonlore recounts the stories of dragons from Europe, Asia and the Americas,
from the sea serpents Leviathan and Nessie to Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwock. This
richly-illustrated book examines dragons in modern culture and the natural world,
including the pterodactyl and other saurians, whose fossilized bones were
inexplicable and awe-inspiring discoveries. And don’t forget about the Komodo
Dragon, the largest lizard alive today.

Come, walk with author and dragon lore expert Ashley DeKirk…in the shadow of
the dragon.

Dragonlore is the first book in a series developed from popular courses taught at
the online Grey School of Wizardry (www.GreySchool.com). Each volume in the
series, titled the Archives of the Grey School of Wizardry, will be written by
faculty members and introduced and edited by Headmaster and wizard Oberon
Zell-Ravenheart.

These textbooks will form a comprehensive library that Magick-users
everywhere will wish they’d had during their own apprentice years. Following the
16 departments of the Grey School, the Archives will provide in-depth looks at
the Wizarding world with favorite topics such as dragonlore, naturalist studies,
magickal healing, herbology, divination, cosmology, and more.
