Dragons I Have Known

According to Carl Jung dragons are an archetype ingrained in our unconscious. Dragons of stories however come in many forms colors and sizes. Initially I wanted to understand how dragon archetypes might be synthesized as Joseph Campbell did with heroes but world of dragons is so varied that I could not really find a starting place. But along the way I read hundreds of dragon stories and met many dragons. I tried to postulate some theories in my introduction to this book but mostly I think the stories themselves are worth sharing. Here is an introduction to some magical creatures-sometimes evil and sometimes wise-but all worth knowing. The bibliography should help you in choosing the stories that catch your attention but the biographies of the dragons are a pure labor of love.
