Recenzje

The Dragon in the West is a more orderly scrutinizing of the development of dragon myths and legends in Europe...This is a truly compendious volume that lays out its argument and evidence clearly, with appendices, tables, and explanatory footnotes. It also usefully provides many sources, which are all translated into English.
