Dragons are the only creatures we find in the legends of almost every nation in the world: from the legends of snowy Scandinavia to the tales of Africa, Japan and China. Modern tales, from The Lord of the Rings to Game of Thrones, are unthinkable without dragons. Our book contains more than twenty tales and legends about dragons from different countries and eras. We begin our journey in ancient Greece, where Zeus, Cadmus and Hercules fought dragons. In Germany and England the great warriors Siegfried and Beowulf went out to fight dragons, in Lebanon - St. George. The reader will learn how dragons were defeated, tamed and honored in Norway, Finland, Serbia, Armenia, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan and Kalmykia. How the inhabitants of Japan, Korea and China trembled before dragons and admired them. And of course, let's not forget about the Serpent Gorynych from Russian fairy tales! The book is illustrated with works by legendary illustrators of the XIX-XX centuries - Arthur Rackham, Theodore Kittelsen, Walter Crane, Ivan Bilibin, Boris Zworykin.
