MYTHOLOGIES by William Butler Yeats
      This book stands alone.
      Oh, that everyone wrote with the lyric beauty and whimsy of Yeats.
      This is one of my favorite books. A must for all who relish journeys
      through the landscape of Celtic mysteries.

THE DRAGON GREEN by J. Bissell Thomas
      This book is a treasure. (see Rare Beings)
      Unfortunately, it is currently out of print, but if you frequent
      used bookstores, keep your eyes peeled! You never know...

A FIELD GUIDE TO DEMONS by Carol K. Mack & Dinah Mack
      A wonderfully mischievous look to those beings who play around
      the darker edges of our imaginations.

A FIELD GUIDE TO THE LITTLE PEOPLE by Nancy Arrowsmith & George Moorse
      Recently reissued treasure for all who take delight with the wee folke.

BRITISH DRAGONS by Jacqueline Simpson
      Scholarly but not dry. A fine look at the lore of Anglo-Celtic Dragons.

DRAGONHENGE by Bob Eggleton & John Grant
       A wonderfully spiritual collection of Dragon lore beautifully illustrated.

DRAGON-LOVER'S TREASURY OF THE FANTASTIC ed. by Margaret Weis
      For younger readers--solid tales of fun and fancy.

DRAGONS: A MODERN INFESTATION by Pamela Wharton Blanpied
      A most curious book - one of the few I've come across which actually
      deals with Dragons as real creatures in the modern world. Unfortunately,
      this very serious, almost scientific volume sees Dragons as a a threat to humankind -
      a threat to be dealt with. It will raise the blood pressure of die-hard Dracophiles.

THE ELEMENT ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MAGICAL CREATURES by John & Caitlin Matthews
      This massive tome covers the rare and unusual from around the globe.
      A fine reference book (though lacking in illustrations).

ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES & OTHER MONSTERS
       by Rosemary Ellen Guiley & Jeanne Keyes Youngson
      A look at the more dangerous among us.

FABULOUS BEASTS by Malcolm Ashman
      A beautifully illustrated bestiary for our time.

MAGICKAL, MYSTICAL CREATURES by D.J.Conway
      A favorite of mine. From Unicorns & flying equines to
      water folk and gargoyles, this book looks at not only the lore of these
      beings, but also their magickal powers and how to tap into those
      powers.

MONSTERS by John Michael Greer
      Personally, I take umbrage at Mr. Greer's designation of Monsters,
      but, hey, that's just me. It's an expansive and well-written book;
      a fun reference volume.



PERN TOMES by Anne McCaffrey
      I would include her A Diversity of Dragons, charming and beautifully illustrated.
      What can one say about Anne McCaffrey's books? She's done more for Dragonkind
      than almost anyone I know. Wonderful!

PIT DRAGON CHRONICLES by Jane Yolen
      Some writers capture our fancy--Jane Yolen does that with me. Excellent reads.

THE BOOK OF DRAGONS by E. Nesbit
      E. Nesbit was someone I read since I was a tyke. Who can resist a woman
      who walks with Psammeads and Phoenix?!
      As timeless as Narnia!

THE ENCHANTED FOREST CHRONICLES by Patricia Wrede
      I am a relative newcomer to Ms. Wrede's work, but enjoy it
      immensely.For younger readers but with enough wit to grab us elders.

THE LORE OF THE UNICORN by Odell Shepard
      I discovered this book in one of my favorite used bookstores.
      What a find!
      A wise and witty look at our monocere friends full of myth and whimsy.
      If you love Unicorns, check it out.

THE OAK KING, THE HOLLY KING & THE UNICORN
      by John Williamson
      This is a serious scholarly work on the symbolism and iconography in
      the Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries. Dense but fascinating, especially if
      you have a liking for the subtleties of medieval botany.
