Dragons and Unicorns: Fact? Fiction?
Odell Shepard,Ernest Ingersoil
We fear them…revere them…wish we could have them do our bidding…They live in our dreams and haunt our nightmares! Dragons and Unicorns…the magical beasties recognized throughout the world. The authors take us beyond folk lore and legend to an invisible realm where such creatures are part of everyday reality… DRAGONS: Few creatures of folklore and mythology conjure up more sinister and magical images than the Dragon. Also known as the firedrake, these mercurial creatures pervade almost every pantheon of classic literature. Said to be larger than elephants, they are generally accept as having bat-like wings, twin horns of varying length, and a fiery breath that can destroy all that comes in their path. UNICORNS: The word unicorn is based on the Hebrew world re'em ( horn ), in early versions of the Old Testament translated as monokeros, meaning one horn. The Unicorn is mentioned in Greek literature, in India and throughout Europe…The strange legends of the Dragon and the Unicorn persist to this very day. Figment of the imagination? Misinterpretation of ordinary creatures? Symbolic of a mystery occult school? Beautifully illustrated, printed on quality paper, this large - 8x11 - format book will peek your interest and keep you entertained for hours as you travel around the world in the present and the past in search of creatures thought to have been made of imagination; but which probably has some basis in a physical reality.
