I very much enjoy this beautifully illustrated series. This one was especially good in that it had a nice section on Asian dragons (a decided hole in my knowledge) as well as Persian dragons (another hole.) In the series the illustrations are in the style of the culture of the time period and region discussed, which, in this book especially, added greatly to the atmosphere.
I have now started Gods and Goddesses in the same series. I know quite a bit about Greek and Roman gods, a little about Norse mythology, but could use more, very little about Egyptian or Hindu gods. I wonder how much of these will be covered.
