Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the mythology and cultural significance of dragons across various civilizations, including Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, European, and Asian traditions. It examines how dragons are depicted in myths, legends, and literature, highlighting their diverse characteristics, roles, and symbolic meanings. The authors discuss both Western and Eastern perspectives, contrasting the fearsome dragons of European stories with the benevolent dragons of Chinese mythology. The book also references well-known dragons from modern storytelling, such as those in 'The Hobbit' and 'Harry Potter.' Aimed at young readers, the book seeks to educate and inspire curiosity about mythical creatures while providing historical context and cultural insights.
