The
Discovery of
Dragons (
1996) is yet another wonderfully written and spectacularly illustrated book by
Graeme Base.
Allegedly edited by Mr. Rowland W. Greasebeam, B.Sc., the book is divided into three sections. For each type of dragon there is a copy of the letter describing it and an illustration of the dragon itself.
- The European Dragon, as discussed in The Letters of Bjorn of Bromme to His Bad-tempered Cousin, Olaf the Grim
- The Asiatic Dragon, as described in The Letters of Soong Mei Ying to Her Venerable Father, Soong Chen Yi
- The Tropical Dragon, as described in The Letters of Dr. E. F. Liebermann to His Long-suffering Fiancée, Prunella Hapsburgernfries
