The Dragon Chronicles

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)

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.

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!

Review: This is a really great book.
It is like a really old diary kept by an old wizard that records his adventures when he is sent off by the king to search for dragons that are causing trouble in the kingdom.

Because he takes Artists with him the book is crammed with colour paintings and sketches of the adventure. There is even studies of things like dragon claws and eggs and stuff, the weapons they use to kill the dragons and dried body of a 'dragonette' a kind of miniture pirhana type dragon that attacks in swarms!
