Rating: Summary: great dragons Review: Ithink that the Dragon cronicles is the best dragon book ever. A wizard has to find evil dragons and has exciting advetures. the paintings are fantastic and really well done.I really like thedead baby dragon that looks like it has been squashed inthe book . cool!
Rating: Summary: AN EXCELLENT GIFT BOOK Review: Part adventure part encyclopaedia,The Dragon Chronicles is an exciting and unusual book. It will be enjoyed as much for its narrative thrills as for richness of its illustrative detail. The book appears to be a reproduction of an old journal that turned up for auction in a London sale room. It purports to be the diary journal of an old wizard, who to comply with the wishes of his dying king, sets off to find a group of malevolent dragons who are threatening the stability of the land. The book looks and feels like something that has been lying in a vault, forgoten for centuries. The pages are like old vellum and there are dozens of brilliant coloured paintings and sketches of dragons, weapons and specimens, like dragon eggs that were supposedly produced by various artist who accompanied the wizard on his journey. There is even a dried pressed speciment of a dreaded "Dragnette" a kind of flying piranha! Thoroughly enjoyable yarn for any age (why should kids have all the fun)
Rating: Summary: The definitive book for dragon seekers Review: Really captures the imagination. An exciting yarn, incredible colour illustrations plus interesting specimens of dragon remains etc. A real collectors item, whether its a reproduction of a genuine document (as claimed) or not??? Some of the imagery certainly looks believable.
Rating: Summary: ther be dragons Review: This book is the diary of an ancient wizard, who lanched on a journey by request of his king on his deathebed. It is an exciting account of his encounters with the dragons. The design and layout of the book makes it appear is if it is an ancient book that has been recently unearthed. The cover looks like leather with metal hinges and locks. The pages are made to look like parchment, and the text looks like ancient hand written script. The artwork is colorful and stunning. There is much variety here in addition to the full page painntings of dragons, there are bluprints of ships and weapons, photos of ancient artifacts, and what appears to be fossilized baby dragon that has been imprinted on a page. Very interesting storyline that draws you into the adventure. Highly reccommend!
Rating: Summary: The Dragon Chronicles Review: This is a fantastic book, you really are convinced that it is a copy of an actual journal writen centuries ago. All the pages are made to look like old parchment. The story is of how an old loyal wizard is commanded by his dying king to seek and destroy a number of evil dragons that threaten the peace of the kingdom. The colour pictures art great and ther are lots of interesting things sketched by the artists that the wizard took with him to record his quest. It is a super looking book, all old and weathered like. It looks great on the shelf with my collection of dragon models.
