Lesson IX–Conserving Wild Dragons
It is vital that the student realize that dragons are wild creatures and, as such, will resist taming.

It belonged to my son when he was a little boy and I kept it not only because of sentimentality, but because the illustrations are beautiful and the writing is enchanting. I would say, yes, off to Amazon you go! 🙂

Yes I did right after I posted that comment and it’s not available on the German side of Amazon. Those drawings looks sooo beautiful.

Good morning Sylvia =) Thank you so much for the offer, that is super sweet of you, but I’ll just wait, sooner or later either Amazon will get or a local bookstore can get it for me. I could order from US Amazon, but the shipping is more than the book itself, which is nuts.

What a beautiful photo. That book looks great. The illustrations are wonderful. I just ordered a collectible version in “like new” condition for $8.

Besides the propensity to burn villages and eat people, Dragons are adorable.

What a fascinating book and so beautifully illustrated too. I love the three spheres, particularly the green one, as it looks like the whirling sea to me. X
