Dragonology

For true believers only, a lavishly illustrated reproduction of a legendary volume by the world’s most distinguished dragonologist. Don’t let it fall into the wrong hands! Do you believe in dragons? Now, for the first time, the long-lost research of renowned nineteenth century dragonologist Dr. Ernest Drake is presented in all its eccentric glory, happily bridging the gap between dragon legend and fact. The meticulous Dr. Drake assigns Latin names to various dragon species, ruminates on why dragons are able to speak, speculates on how they could fly, and explains the true purpose of their notorious hoarding habits. Here are just a few of DRAGONOLOGY'S fascinating features: — Novelty item on every spread, including tactile samples of dragon wings, dragon scales, and dragon skin — Booklet of dragon riddles (indispensable to the burgeoning dragonologist) — Sealed envelope containing a powerful dragon-calling spell — Embossed faux leather cover with silver foil, encrusted with three dragon gems In his afterword, Dr. Drake reveals that one of the crucial goals of dragonologists is to preserve the magnificent creatures of their study wherever possible - a goal this tongue-in-cheek volume most affectionately achieves. An incomparable gift for secret dragonologists everywhere! 神秘日志系列是由一个充满无限创意和无限热情的编辑团队创作出来的，创意总监是一位年轻的华裔谢梓妍小姐，在她的带领下，几位文字与绘画的大师齐聚一堂，比如伊安•安德鲁、戴维•怀亚特等。更为奇思妙想的是，他们本人都在神秘日志中“现身”，成为故事里的人物，亦真亦幻，虚实结合，可谓是匠心独具。 谢梓妍小姐：祖籍福建厦门，会讲闽南语，3岁时举家迁往英国定居。在Templar出版社工作已有十年之久，自2003年起，带领团队创作“神秘日志”系列，屡获好评，频频获奖。当得知“神秘日志”系列即将出版简体中文版时，特意表示希望使用其中文姓名。细心的你，一定能在某处发现她的倩影……找找看！
