Book description

A unique foray into the beliefs, and in a sense the reality, of dragons in China, from only a few centuries ago. This charming travelogue with its beautiful illustrations and fascinating narrative, leads the reader through the dragon-laden landscape of Chinese folktales and classic literature, and even uncovers some new dragon lore from the far-flung corners of the Chinese Empire.
