Dragons: Meet the Legendary Monsters of Mythology (Myth Busters)

A vividly illustrated juvenile nonfiction guide that combines real historical context and global dragon mythology tailored for young readers.

Dragons: Meet the Legendary Monsters of Mythology takes young readers on a journey through dragon lore from cultures around the world. Drawing on both history and mythology, medieval historian Dr. Cait Stevenson explores the fearsome and fascinating stories of dragons — from the greedy Norse wyrm Fáfnir and the female dragon-slayer of the One Thousand and One Nights to serpents like Apophis of Egyptian myth. Interwoven with narratives about real animals like Komodo dragons, constellations, and dragons in modern pop culture (including Dungeons & Dragons), this book offers an engaging mix of fact and folklore complemented by rich illustrations by Cinthya Alvarez.
