This is a gorgeous, impressive book. Bound in red vinyl (?) with silver foil, and a glass dragon eye. No detail is spared, a very tactile, engaging experience. Children will want to handle this fragile book full of maps, fold outs, secret envelopes, riddles, spells, charms. A clever and dry encyclopedic guide to the dragon, everything you wanted to know from 'finding' to 'flying' them. Eccentric, a super find for Harry Potter fans. (
